Are you a practical person who could help keep our shops in top condition, contributing to a first-class retail experience for our customers?
Can you donate your time to keep our shops in top condition?
Volunteers in this role help to keep our shops in top condition by carrying out general maintenance and small repairs. You may be supporting just one shop or a group of shops in your local area, to help reduce the cost of employing professional trades companies.
Ideally, you’d be able to give half a day a week or as required helping with a range of minor DIY and maintenance tasks in shops.
We are looking for caretakers for the following shops:
- Bourne End
- Flackwell Heath
- Holmer Green
Main tasks
You will be helping with a range of tasks, depending on what is needed in each shop:
· replacing overhead light tubes/bulbs
· putting up a shelf
· replacing a toilet seat
· weeding the front of the shop (not gardening)
· small painting jobs
· small repairs
· keeping external drains clear of leaves and debris
· carpet cleaning after accidental spillage
· monthly checks – emergency lights and fire doors
What are we looking for?
· someone who has a practical and can-do approach
· a reliable and flexible person who is practical and adaptable, and happy to turn their hand to any task that is required
· if you are supporting more than one shop, it would be helpful if you have access to your own car
· paint and other materials will be delivered to each shop as necessary, and any specialist tools, but it would be helpful if you can use your own tools for most jobs
What's in it for you?
- you'll be meeting new people and making new connections in your local community
- our volunteers talk about great satisfaction gained when completing a task, knowing that it's helped the team and improved the customer experience.
- volunteering is a wonderful way to use your skills and keep your brain active.

About Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
When serious illness strikes, we're here to help people in our community get the best out of every day. From the moment of diagnosis our specialist teams work with each individual to provide the compassionate care they need, in the place that's best for them. This is what we call: extraordinary care, anywhere.
We know that life-limiting illness doesn't just affect the individual, so we care for those around each patient, too – both during an illness and through bereavement.
It takes a whole community to provide this care to everybody who needs it. Our volunteers, supporters and champions in the community are the driving force behind everything we do.
The organiser has marked this opportunity as filled. Applications are closed. You can find other volunteering opportunities here.
