Volunteer in our shop and coffee shop at The Point

Join our retail team for a rewarding role

We welcome applicants to volunteer in our coffee shop, downstairs at The Point.

Why volunteer?

It’s a fun and sociable activity! On any given day, your role could vary from sorting clothes or serving customers, to merchandising, dressing a mannequin, working the till or pricing stock.

Whatever you can do, will be appreciated and will mean so much to Willen Hospice.

  • Learn new skills
  • Add valuable experience to your CV
  • It’s an opportunity to meet people
  • An ideal way to give something back to your community
  • There are flexible shifts available.
  • We will provide all the training you need
  • We can also reimburse parking in the standard tariff areas during your shift, (purple zone) if needed.
  • If sustainability, re-using and recycling clothing items is important to you, then you’ll fit right in!
