Our charity funds around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.

Are you handy with a hoover, a whizz with a duster and a dab hand with a mop? We are looking for a Housekeeping Volunteer to help keep our shop clean, safe and welcoming for our volunteers, staff and customers. Full training and cleaning materials will be provided. This volunteer role is very flexible, and whether you have an hour or an afternoon free each week, your help will make a huge difference to the shop and the British Heart Foundation.

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 17 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.

Typical tasks include:

• Cleaning staff areas, stairways and restrooms – vacuuming and wiping down surfaces
• Cleaning on the shop floor – shop fittings, stock on display and touch points
Re-stocking cleaning supplies, refreshments and any other miscellaneous items – make sure we have enough tea and biscuits to keep our volunteers going!

• Unlimited, free, and confidential support by Retail Trust
• Access to training and development
• Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed
