Penarth, United Kingdom Ty Hafan Full time

At Tŷ Hafan, we believe that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

Too many families in Wales are struggling through the fear, exhaustion and uncertainty that comes with caring for a child whose life will be short.

At the moment we only have enough money to support 10% of the families who need us.

By volunteering, you can help us to reach _**every **_family who needs us.

Through **life**, **death **and **beyond**.

**Do you have a passion for cooking or interest in working in a kitchen environment? If so, you might be the perfect fit for our kitchen volunteer position at the hospice.**

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.

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

**Considerations**:
Time commitment: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and every other Sunday.

Location: This role will be based at the Tŷ Hafan Hospice in Sully assisting the kitchen staff. The kitchen is situated immediately off the lounge, the central hub of the Hospice, where families come together to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by our talented head chef and the team.

**Activities you could be involved in**:

- Keeping the dining area neat and tidy by clearing away plates and crockery
- Help with food preparation
- For experienced chefs and bakers, there is an opportunity to get involved in cooking meals and baking goods
- Wash dishes and utensils with kitchen equipment
- Serve tea/coffee and food with a smile
- Chat with staff, families and children and make them feel welcome

**At Tŷ Hafan our people values are working together, demonstrating compassion, providing excellent service and taking ownership.**

We expect all colleagues and volunteers to behave with high levels of integrity and to represent our values as a core part of their role.

**What skills will you need?**
- Ability to work as part of a team
- Ability to follow procedures and health and safety requirements
- Physical strength to lift, carry and stand for long periods of time
- Knowledge of Health and Safety and Food Hygiene Procedures
- Inclusive and non-judgmental attitude towards families, volunteers, staff and visitors

**Here's what you can expect from our training**:

- You will receive a comprehensive induction
- You will learn about health and safety in the kitchen
- You will work with friendly and supportive kitchen staff and volunteers
- Opportunities to complete relevant e-learning

**Benefits of becoming a Kitchen Volunteer**
- You can make a positive difference in the lives of children and their families by providing them with nutritious and delicious meals
- You can learn new skills and gain valuable experience in food preparation, service and safety
- You can meet new people and join a community of compassionate and dedicated volunteers who share your passion for cooking and helping others
- You can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are contributing to a meaningful cause
- You can express your creativity and personality through your cooking and baking
- You will receive feedback and appreciation from hospice staff and guests

We can't wait to welcome you to the team
