Join our welcoming hospital shop team and become a comforting presence for NHS staff, patients, and visitors. More than just handling transactions, you'll provide warm interactions that make difficult days a little easier. We're especially seeking volunteers for Wednesday daytime and Thursday/Friday evening shifts (5-7:30pm).

What Makes This Role Special:
You'll develop valuable retail skills while serving in a uniquely meaningful environment.

Operating the till, restocking shelves, and assisting customers takes on deeper significance when you're helping someone buy comfort items during a hospital stay.

Many volunteers find their communication skills flourish as they learn to read subtle cues from stressed visitors or tired staff members.

The hospital setting offers constant opportunities to practice compassion alongside retail fundamentals.

What skills do I need?

We'd Love to Hear From You If:

  • You naturally brighten rooms with your friendly presence
  • You enjoy meeting people from all walks of life
  • You're reliable for weekly shifts (especially those crucial evening hours)
  • You want retail experience with heart and purpose
