  • Support and coordinate the volunteer team on the day at events.
  • Deposit cash into Shelter bank account at the end of the event or pass over to Shelter staff member

To enable you to take part in this opportunity we will:

  • Provide you with relevant policies, induction, training and information
  • Refund any out-of-pocket expenses in line with Shelter’s volunteer expenses policy

Skills and Experiences Required
