Retail Assistant

We are a patient-centred charity that delivers palliative and end of life care to thousands of people each year with advanced life-limiting illnesses who live in Northwest Surrey, also providing support to their carers and families in patient homes, in care or nursing homes or through its In-Patient Unit in the Hospice; as well as through the Bradbury Wellbeing Centre.

You will, therefore, be joining a passionate and dedicated team of professionals that make a real difference to the families across the North West Surrey community.

Currently our greatest need is in our retail shops – it’s a great way to start your volunteer service with us as our shops are a key element to raising much needed funds for the hospice.

A retail role is varied and it will include sorting donations, recording gift aid, preparing stock for sale, meeting customers, staffing the till, ensuring the shop floor is clean, tidy and neat.

Retail roles generally are 9 am-1 pm or 1 pm-5 pm. We can, at times, have flexibility around the exact hours you volunteer.

We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers who can engage with people of all ages and from all walks of life to join our team.

If you would like to find out more, please pop into the Chobham shop and have a chat with Carol, the Manager. Alternatively, please complete our online application form which will then be passed on to the shop manager to make contact.

What are the benefits to you?

  • The opportunity to support Woking and Sam Beare Hospices and enable the hospice to continue to provide care at no cost to the patients
  • A chance to work with a friendly supportive team of likeminded people
  • An opportunity to network and meet other staff/volunteers
  • Helps you feel part of your local community
  • Gain confidence and perhaps improve your mental/physical health in the process
  • It might help you get a job
  • Full training will be provided

If you would like to join the team of volunteers or have any questions, we would love to hear from you.
