Join a vibrant community organization as a volunteer at a historic village shop and cafe. This role offers a unique opportunity to engage with the local community, gain valuable experience in customer service, and learn essential food safety skills. As a volunteer, you will work alongside a supportive team, helping to serve customers and manage stock. This position not only allows you to contribute to a cherished local establishment but also provides a pathway to new friendships and potential paid employment. Your commitment of just three hours a week can make a significant impact in the community.
Role:
As a volunteer, you would be expected to take an active role in all aspects of the working of the shop and cafe. You will be involved in serving in the shop and cafe, including making coffees and teas. There are also tasks relating to stock control. You will, at all times, be working with a paid shop manager who will train, guide, and support you.
We support all our volunteers to take Level 2 Food Safety and relevant allergen training.
Time commitment:
A volunteer shift is normally 3 hours per week, ideally on the same day of the week as agreed by you but not essential as we can be flexible.
About the organisation:
The Itteringham Village Shop and Cafe is a community organisation. There has been a shop on this site since 1637. Since 1994, it has been run by local volunteers from the area and more recently by a mixture of paid staff and volunteers. Their volunteers are an important, essential, and valued part of the enterprise. Becoming a volunteer is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and for some of our volunteers, this has led to paid employment.
