Are you handy with a hoover, a whizz with a duster and can spare a couple of hours a week to make a huge difference? We are looking for a Housekeeping Volunteer to help the paid team keep our new shop clean, safe and welcoming for our volunteers, staff and customers. Full training and cleaning materials will be provided. This volunteer role is very flexible, and whether you have an hour or an afternoon free each week, your help will make a huge difference to the shop and the British Heart Foundation in maintaining a clean and nice work environment so we can continue raising lifesaving funds to beat heart and circulatory diseases. You will be doted on with tea and biscuits by a very grateful paid team who will also be helping maintain cleanliness!
Typical tasks include:
· Cleaning staff areas and behind the scenes – vacuuming and wiping down surfaces
· Cleaning on the shop floor – shop fittings, stock on display and touch points
· Re-stocking cleaning supplies, refreshments and any other miscellaneous items – make sure we have enough tea and biscuits to keep our volunteers going!
Volunteering with the British Heart Foundation comes with plenty of benefits too…
· A 25% discount on donated goods and 10% discount on New Goods in our shops
· Unlimited, free, and confidential support by Retail Trust
· Access to training and development
· Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed
· Refreshments available
· Volunteer certificates, references and long service awards provided
· Access to discounts with other retailers
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with unspent criminal convictions.
Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
