Individuals who understand the trustee responsibilities and are comfortable with a temporary, transitional role.
-
Those who are empathetic, collaborative, and mission-driven, with a heart for tackling loneliness and building community.

You don’t need to be based in London - but you do need to care about its people. We do hope to expand in the future, using London as our flagship.
Duration & Transition:
This role is designed to last 6–8 months, during which you’ll help SUNSHINE get registered and operational. Once we’re ready to launch publicly, we’ll transition to a permanent board of trustees. You’ll have the option to step down or apply for a permanent role.
Why Join Now?

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Helping in our shops is a great way to help CHAS and, as well as helping us raise money to fund our vital services, you'll be part of a really great team of volunteers. You'll be meeting new people, using your skills or learning something new, and making sure our customers get a great welcome and all the assistance they need.
It's always great to see our volunteers chatting to customers and telling them about CHAS - and there's so much more to this role too: you could be sorting donations, getting stock ready for the shop floor, wielding a steamer or a duster, processing Gift Aid, operating the till (we will show you how), merchandising and displaying stock - you'll never have a dull moment.
It would be ideal if you could volunteer one shift each week, which is about four hours (but we're also happy to chat about more flexible times). No special skills are needed as we’ll show you what to do and we provide all the training you’ll need. But if you have any experience or particular interest please tell us, it may come in useful. It’s really easy to get your volunteering started.

- Welcoming and assisting customers and serving at them at the till
- Replenishing the stock on the shop floor
- Merchandising and displaying stock
- Accepting, sorting and preparing donations for sale
- Housekeeping on the shop floor and in the stock room
The skills you need
- A real aptitude for team working
- Good communication skills and attention to detail
- A good understanding of what makes excellent customer service
