Volunteer Trading Assistant Heathfield – Demelza Children’s Hospice

Demelza delivers outstanding clinical care and emotional support to children with complex conditions, and their families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London, supporting children from first diagnosis and for as long as we’re needed.

Demelza helps children explore their creativity, have fun and make memories. We offer activities and therapies, sensory spaces, outdoor areas and even a hydro pool in Kent for families to enjoy.

We are seeking a Volunteer Trading Assistant for our shop in Heathfield. Our shops provide a vital source of income, helping us to care for children and their families. Giving a small portion of your free time goes a long way to making this happen.

Volunteers will be supporting the shop manager, helping to sort, display and sell donated items of clothing and other sundries. You’ll be given full training for using the till, and dealing with cash or credit card payments.

You choose the amount of hours you can give, we are flexible with scheduling, and only ask that you give as much notice as possible should you be unable to cover a shift. We will be open every day of the week with times to be confirmed.

The minimum age for this role is 16, with no upper age. Expenses can be paid for mileage costs. No DBS is required. A uniform can be provided if requested.

Our new Heathfield shop is proposed to have ground floor facilities (kitchen and lavatory) to support those who struggle with mobility.

We are planning to open in the 1st week of September, and any support that volunteers can offer during the core opening times would be amazing.
