Volunteer Speaker Bebington, England
Job description
By joining Claire House you become a part of our Claire House Family, and there are many benefits that come along with this, including:
Fun. Claire House is a great place to volunteer. You can meet new friends whilst helping your local charity.
Support. Whilst you volunteer at Claire House you will be supported by both your line manager and a central Volunteer Services team, all of whom are on hand to guide you throughout your volunteer journey.
Events. At Claire House we hold annual coffee mornings where you can meet other volunteers, share experiences and find out what’s happening in your charity.
Recognition. Each year we hold a recognition event to celebrate volunteer’s outstanding achievements.
Newsletters. Four times a year you’ll receive our Volunteer Newsletter. You’ll find out what’s happening at Claire House along with event information and opportunities, all direct to your mailbox.
Training. Each role at Claire House has a different training requirement. This may involve task based training, or a full training programme including manual handling, infection control and health and safety. All our training programmes are in place to ensure you are comfortable with your role and safe in your volunteering environment.
Experience. Should you volunteer to gain a particular skill, we can work with you to ensure you receive experience that will help you develop your career.
Expenses. It is important to Claire House that volunteers are not prevented from volunteering due to financial constraints, when supporting the charity. Each volunteer is permitted to claim reasonable expenses incurred through their volunteering duties.
Flexibility. At Claire House we understand that people volunteer outside of their working day or around other priorities. We have a variety of roles and a variety of shifts that may suit individuals.
Diversity and equal opportunities. Claire House values diversity and believes that a mix of backgrounds brings a variety of ideas, perspectives and experiences that will create a productive work environment.
Are you a real people-person? Enjoy meeting new people and having a good chat? Want to use your time to make a big difference? Then become a Volunteer Speaker!
We’re looking for friendly volunteers to join our fundraising team and help to spread the word about Claire House in your local community. As a Speaker, you’ll visit community groups and schools to tell them about our charity or simply thank them for the money they have raised for the hospice.
We know public speaking can sometimes sound scary, but we promise that our talks are different! It’s all about sitting down and sharing wonderful stories with supporters (and potential supporters) about the amazing things that happen at the Hospice, the support we offer to families and how their contributions make a difference.
We have a team that’ll be with you every step of the way, so you’ll be fully supported and we’ll provide you with all the training and information you need. There are lots of different types of talks – so you can get involved in as little or as many as you like too!
It’s great way to meet new people, build up confidence and try something different! So, if it sounds like something you may be interested in, please get in touch or fill in our online application form below.
Things to consider:
- We’re looking for volunteers in the Liverpool area (or willing to travel to it)
- We’ll provide travel expenses
- Due to the location/times of some talks, you will need to be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle
- You don’t have to have experience in public speaking, just a love for meeting new people and socialising!
- Talks usually take place on weekdays and evenings – so you’ll need to have some availability during these times (but you can choose which talks you’d like to sign up to)
