Park Golf - Community Helper

Dunnikier Park Community Golf - an award-winning organisation engaging with around 10 schools, 12 care homes and over 20 community groups across the full age spectrum requires volunteers to help them reach more members of the community.
Park Golf is a simple game imported from Japan – involving only one club and a ball. It’s accessible to all ages and abilities, played over a short, 500-yard course, taking less than one hour to play. It’s about getting people who wouldn’t normally play sport being active outside having fun, which helps support their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
This role involves welcoming customers, organising clubs and balls, providing health and safety guidance, assisting with organising play, and helping to create a friendly, enjoyable experience through general conversation.
If you are passionate about supporting others to have fun, and improve their wellbeing, we’d love to welcome you to our Park Golf Family.

Experience required

Reasonable level of fitness. No previous experience needed - just a positive attitude.
Friendly and approachable with social skills. Good communicator and listener.
Community spirited, looking to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people live a fuller, enjoyable, fun life.
You don’t need to have an interest in golf.
