Shop Assistant

Do you have a few hours a week to spare? Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospice charity is seeking volunteers to help out at its friendly shop in Christchurch, Dorset.

The charity’s shops rely on volunteers throughout the week, and are looking for till operatives to serve customers and keep them informed about the charity’s work on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, and Friday mornings.

Volunteering has lots of benefits from building confidence to reducing stress and is a great way to make friends and have fun. Various shifts are available throughout the week/weekend.

You don’t have to have experience to be a volunteer at Julia’s House as we provide all the training you will require. You just need to be friendly, reliable and have the confidence to talk to our customers and make them feel welcome. It’s a great feeling to be supporting your local community and will make all the difference to the children and families we care for locally. We would love to hear from anyone who has a few hours to spare.

**This is a voluntary role with no salary.**

Julia’s House is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and volunteers. Our aim is for our workforce and volunteers to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients, and for each employee and volunteer to feel respected and able to give their best.

As part of our values, we are committed to supporting equality, diversity and inclusion. Everyone is welcome and supported in their development at all stages in their journey with us. Based on our current staffing and volunteer profile, we have identified that there is an under-representation of: (a) individuals of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, so would especially welcome BAME applicants for any of our vacant positions; and (b) males, so we would welcome male applicants for any of our vacant positions and specially for any care and nursing roles.
