About the Role

As a Catering Volunteer you will volunteer in the kitchen of our service’s venue to help prepare a good quality breakfast or lunch for our older members. You may plan menus and you’ll get feedback from the older members about what they would like to eat at future activities.You will help prepare food, keep the kitchen clean and to hygiene and health and safety standards and tidy away afterwards.

Benefits

By becoming a catering volunteer, you can support our services and help us to deliver a hot, delicious, nutritious meal to our members.  You can gain valuable skills and knowledge that can enhance your personal and professional development, or bring skills from a previous role to help us provide a meal which is the highlight of the weekly menu for our members.  

How much time do I need to commit as a volunteer?

The advert details the days and times we're needing help at the moment.  There may be other opportunities to volunteer at other time in the future.  

Generally, we ask for a minimum of one hour per week for at least six months.

What kind of support will I receive?

You will receive ongoing support and guidance from a local coordinator who will match you with an older person, monitor your progress, and provide feedback. You will also have access to online resources, training opportunities, and peer support from other volunteers.
Travel expenses will be paid.
