About this Opportunity

Overview:

Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.

Could you be the friendly face of your Local Air Ambulance and National Children’s Air Ambulance? With support around you and full training provided, you will be processing sales through the till as a volunteer cashier, talking to customers and thanking every donor – helping us continue to fund lifesaving missions. This is a customer focussed role where you will meet and interact with a wide range of people.

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or anyone with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
