Shop Volunteer
London's Air Ambulance
We are looking for committed volunteers who are able to help on a regular basis in our charity shop based at The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. Our shop is vital to help us raise funds and awareness of the charity, and is also a place where patients and families often visit when they are in the hospital.
WHAT DOES THIS ROLE INVOLVE? • Opening and/or closing the shop • Greeting customers and helping them with any queries • Providing information about the charity to customers and supporters • Taking payments for purchases using an electronic till • Cashing up at the end of the day. Our shop is located on hospital premises so although you will be officially volunteering for London's Air Ambulance Charity, all shop volunteers also need to participate in the Barts Health NHS Trust Volunteering induction • All shop volunteers are strongly encouraged to be fully vaccinated, and will need to complete an occupational health form and DBS check • Information about all shop volunteers will be shared with the Volunteering Team at Barts Health Trust, who will jointly administer parts of the induction process and provide you with an ID badge.
