Housekeeping Volunteer

British Heart Foundation - Skelmersdale

Are you handy with a hoover, a whizz with a duster and a dab hand with a mop? We are looking for a Housekeeping Volunteer to help keep our 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.

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. 

Typical tasks include:

· Cleaning staff areas, stairways and restrooms – 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
