Penarth, United Kingdom Ty Hafan Full time

**Providing care and support is something we are only able to do because of the kindness and commitment of our wonderful staff, supporters and volunteers.**

**About us**

Tŷ Hafan is a leading Welsh children's charity, with our hospice and headquarters based in Sully, Vale of Glamorgan.

We provide comfort, care and fun to children with life-shortening conditions, whilst supporting their families and helping them to make a short life, a full life; creating precious memories and helping them to make the most of the time they have together.

Tracy Jones, Director of Family Wellbeing and Outreach Services for Tŷ Hafan, said: “When families are told that their child’s life is going to be short, their whole world changes. It changes again when they realise they must consider end of life care, and again, when they finally lose their child.

“Tŷ Hafan is there to provide endless support to families from the moment their world changes.

“We can’t give a family more time, but Tŷ Hafan can make sure those families who find themselves facing a nightmare such as those faced by families in our care, have the time and the support they need.”

**We would love to have you on our team**

**Good food is central to the care we provide, from catering for specialist dietary needs in the everyday, to special occasions such as our annual memorial event.**

**About the role**:
This role will be based at the Ty Hafan Hospice in Sully, Penarth, assisting our friendly team of kitchen staff.

The kitchen is situated immediately off the main lounge, the central hub of the Hospice, where families come together to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by our talented head chef Jayne, and the rest of the team, Dave and Julia.

For our children and their families, mealtimes provide comfort, a sense of normality and a chance to socialise. Without the stress of shopping, planning and clearing up - we take the pressure off.

You don't need to be Gordon Ramsey to volunteer in our kitchen. Anyone aged 18+ is welcome to volunteer, providing you can lift, chop, carry and be on your feet for the duration of your shift.

Whatever time or skills you have to offer, you can make a difference to the lives of life-limited children and their families, in Wales, today.

**What activities would you be involved in?**
- Clearing plates and crockery and maintaining a presentable dining area
- Helping with food preparation
- Using kitchen equipment to wash all crockery and utensils
- Maintaining a clean and organised kitchen
- Serving tea/coffee and food

**Benefit of volunteering**
- Become part of the Tŷ Hafan team and family
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Personal satisfaction of giving back to the community
- Gaining new skills, knowledge and experience or share yours to benefit Tŷ Hafan's goal
- References for volunteers with 3+ months commitment
- Gain experience for your CV within the catering industry
- Have fun

**Application information**:
2 references and a Standard DBS are required for this role. Ty Hafan will process and cover the expense of the DBS on your behalf.

**This role is purely voluntary and this arrangement is not a legally binding one or an employment contract.**

**Job Type**: Volunteer

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress
- Free parking
- On-site parking

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday
- Weekend availability
