Description

Do you have a friendly personality and enjoy working in a retail environment? Become a Retail Volunteer in one of our hospital shops and help to make the experience a little brighter for NHS staff, patients and visitors.

In this role you will work as part of a friendly team providing a service to people within a hospital setting. You'll develop customer service and practical retail skills.

Duties

Retail Shop Volunteers are needed in our shops to sell items such as food, drinks and hygiene products to patients visitors and staff in our hospital or health care centre shops. Being in hospital or visiting friends and family can be a difficult time so volunteers will also be a friendly and compassionate point of contact for customers.

You'll need to have a friendly personality and good communication and listening skills. This is an ideal opportunity if you want to make new friends and develop your skills and experience in a hospital and retail environment. We also have opportunities available for people with specific skills so please tell us what your strengths are when we meet.

You must be 18 or over for this role.
