DIY/ Maintenance Volunteer
Role: DIY and Maintenance Volunteer
Where: Phoenix Community Centre, Matson
Come and join a wonderful team of volunteers and staff at the Phoenix Centre for the role of DIY and Maintenance Volunteer. At the Phoenix Centre we offer, a safe place for community members of all needs to come together.
We are in need of a volunteer that would kindly give some time to assist in general maintenance of the centre, tasks including painting garden fences and repairs. This is an unpaid role; however, we do offer support with training and development. This role could be seen as doing tasks carried out by a ‘good neighbour’ in favour for our community centre. Volunteering is as much or as little time you can spare – it all makes a difference.
Specifications:
· Ideally you are handy and have experience in DIY and repair jobs.
· Be flexible and understand that tasks may not be consistent but varied.
· Be familiar with tools that we have in our woodwork shed.
· Happy working outdoors and working unsupervised once task is clear.
Benefits:
· Valued work experience and ability to fill in the gaps of unemployment.
· References for future work etc.
· Personal growth and training.
· Making a difference to the community.
· Working with a wide range of people.
There are many benefits in volunteering, and we want you to make the best of your own personal goals within this community scheme like; training, personal development, socializing to name but a few. It is even been reported that it’s good for your health (mind and body).
To apply, please click 'Join' and you will be asked a short question. We will then be in touch to discuss the next steps with you.
