Basic food preparation as required (sandwiches, salads), preparing patients’ food trays, helping to serve patient and staff meals, replenishing tea and coffee stations, following the cleaning rota for daily tasks, using the dishwasher, and any other reasonable requests by our evening or weekend cook.

Ideally you will have basic food hygiene knowledge but full training will be given.

You’ll volunteer from Monday to Friday between 4pm-7pm and on Sundays 8am – 5.30pm on rotas of: 8am – 11am; 11am – 2pm or 2pm-5.30pm.
