Volunteering Roles
Accommodation Assistant
Location: At resident accommodation and elsewhere
We are seeking someone who can provide additional help for Empowerment Workers by assisting with cleaning and preparing our housing, ready for our vulnerable residents to move into. This will enable us to do more in the time available and enhance what we are already doing.
You will be a non-judgemental and compassionate person, with good listening skills and high levels of confidentiality. We will provide appropriate training and there are robust Covid-19 procedures in place to help keep everyone safe.
Volunteer Tasks could include:
- Collecting pre-ordered items for the accommodation (own transport required for this task)
- Collecting food bank parcels ready for the resident moving in (own transport required for this task)
- Basic cleaning such as wiping surfaces, cleaning windows, floors and hoovering
- Making up welcome packs for our new residents
If you’d like to help provide a welcoming, clean environment for new residents to move into as they start their journey towards a better future, we want to hear from you!
