Shop Caretaker Volunteer - Bourne End, Flackwell Heath, Holmer Green

Can you donate your time to keep our shops in top condition?

Volunteers in this role help to keep our shops in top condition by carrying out general maintenance and small repairs. You may be supporting just one shop or a group of shops in your local area, to help reduce the cost of employing professional trades companies.

Ideally, you’d be able to give half a day a week or as required helping with a range of minor DIY and maintenance tasks in shops.

We are looking for caretakers for the following shops:

• Bourne End
• Flackwell Heath
• Holmer Green

·      small painting jobs 

·      small repairs

·      keeping external drains clear of leaves and debris

·      carpet cleaning after accidental spillage

·      monthly checks – emergency lights and fire doors

What are we looking for?

·      someone who has a practical and can-do approach

·      a reliable and flexible person who is practical and adaptable, and happy to turn their hand to any task that is required

·      if you are supporting more than one shop, it would be helpful if you have access to your own car

·      paint and other materials will be delivered to each shop as necessary, and any specialist tools, but it would be helpful if you can use your own tools for most jobs
