Christmas General Volunteer

What is Caring at Christmas? It’s a pop-up day centre based at the Trinity Centre for people experiencing homelessness and in precarious housing situations – for example, people having to sleep rough, people currently living in hostels and temporary accommodation. From Christmas Eve, through to December 30th (daytime) we provide a warm and friendly environment, with breakfast, dinner, and resources including access to support and healthcare, a cinema, activities, and opportunities to socialise.

This shift will be based in the day centre at Trinity. We are looking for sociable, friendly volunteers who will take an empathetic, non-judgmental approach when dealing with guests. You will be supported by team leaders, plus the security team. There's a selection of roles you'll have the opportunity to do.

Responsibilities include: • Socialising with our guests • Welcoming guests at the entrance • Taking food and drink orders, serving meals and drinks to tables • Re-filling snack bowls on tables • Running the clothing store • Running the pantry • Running the cinema • Assisting with activities (games, crafts etc.) • Checking the toilet area • Collecting guests' laundry
