About the role
Are you ready to make a difference in your community while exploring the beautiful countryside of North Devon?
Our busy furniture centre in Barnstaple is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to join our team as a Driver’s Mate.
Supporting our drivers with furniture collections and deliveries across North Devon, you'll help keep stock moving efficiently while meeting new people and being a friendly face of the hospice. No two days are the same, from uncovering hidden gems and hearing the unique stories behind donated items to working alongside our fun and welcoming team of hospice drivers.
What we’re looking for:
We're looking for someone with a friendly, can-do attitude who is happy to get stuck in and enjoys meeting new people. You'll have good communication skills, be compassionate and sensitive in difficult situations, and genuinely want to brighten someone's day. As the role involves frequent heavy lifting, a good level of physical fitness is important, along with flexibility and reliability.
No experience needed - just a positive attitude, a willingness to help, and a smile that goes the extra mile!
Hours available:
Van shifts are available on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8am to 4pm. Please note that all van shifts are full-day shifts and include a lunch break.
Why volunteer with us?
Join a friendly and supportive team, learn new skills and gain valuable hands-on experience, all while making a real difference by helping to raise vital funds that support local hospice care across North Devon.
Every single one of our volunteers helps us provide outstanding care and support to the community of North Devon who are impacted by a life limiting illness. We really value the time all our volunteers give to us and you will be making a real difference to our patients and their families at their most vulnerable time.
