Job description

If you have some spare time – why not volunteer to help us and do something amazing and help us in our Thornaby shop?

Everyone has their own reasons for volunteering, often it is due to having some personal contact or experience with the hospice and a wish to give something back to us, but for others it can be to provide:

• A sense of achievement and purpose
• A feeling part of a community
• Improved self-esteem and confidence
• A sharing of talents, learning new skills, and creating a better work-life balance
• Combatting stress, loneliness, social isolation, and depression
• Meeting new people, which can help you feel more connected and valued
• Building experience and adding to your C.V.

Give it a try – join our team – without the support of our wonderful volunteers, we couldn’t provide our services to the local community.

Role summary:

By selling donated goods, you can play your part, raising the vital funds we need to provide our services to the local community. You can also help the planet by giving items a second lease of life!

Days required:

Normally we would ask for you to attend for one or two shifts per week, in the morning or afternoon (as below). However, the hours you help us are up to you – whether it’s for a couple of hours or a full day, once or twice a week – we really appreciate any help you can give us.

Morning: 9am-1pm

Afternoon: 1pm-4.30pm

If you want to know more, contact us on 01642 607742 or email [e-mail] or pop into the shop for a chat – we can arrange for a ‘Taster’ day – when you can come in and see what it is like to volunteer with us.
