Toy Cleaning volunteers play an important role in our hospice volunteer team.
You will support us to keep the hospice toys and play areas clean, tidy and welcoming. The Hospice should be a home from home for children and families who come to stay for respite and relaxation. Additionally, the children we support are clinically vulnerable so having a clean, safe environment is crucial to their care.
You will spend time in our communal play areas, cleaning the toys and checking for any that are broken or need replaced.
We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic people who take pride in maintaining a homely environment.
What you will be doing
- Cleaning toys and play equipment
- General tidying of play areas
- Liaise with staff when toys are broken or require replacement batteries
We have an Assistance Programme provided by Health Hero to support our volunteers with all aspects of their lives, whether that is at work or at home. This is confidential and free of charge.
CHAS is committed to providing a quality volunteering experience to all volunteers, free from discrimination and prejudice. Ensuring that CHAS is an equal, diverse, and inclusive organisation improves the quality of care we provide, helps us reach more families and children, and maximises a wide variety of knowledge, experience and expertise.
We welcome volunteer applications from those who are refugees, asylum seekers, benefit claimants and those with a disability. We can provide more information about your eligibility to volunteer and any reasonable adjustments we can put in place to ensure your volunteering experience is a positive one.
