Summary
We are currently recruiting for volunteer team members to work in our gallery shop and gift/plant shop.Detailed description
We are currently recruiting for volunteer team members to work in our gallery shop, located in Hestercombe House. Our gallery shop works with regional artisan makers and we are really excited to be showcasing their works.
We are also looking to recruit volunteers for the lovely gift shop and plant centre, located near the Marquee Lawn at Hestercombe.
A knowledge of retail would be helpful for both areas but not essential as full training will be provided.
In return for your time we offer various benefits, so if you have some regular free time and would love to support a local independent charity then please contact Linda Sandford to arrange an interview.
Getting there
About Hestercombe Gardens Trust
As a small charity, Hestercombe relies on volunteers to deliver a number of extremely valuable services, both directly to visitors and behind the scenes.
There are a variety of ways you can get involved. Whether through gardening, invigilating in the Hestercombe Gallery, front of house or assisting in retail - all roles on which the running of Hestercombe is dependent.
Why volunteer?
By volunteering at Hestercombe you'll be part of the Hestercombe team made up of volunteers from the local community, as well as the Hestercombe staff.
The roles undertaken by volunteers here at Hestercombe are considered some of the most important across the organisation and allow us to offer the highest quality visitor experience. Without the support of volunteers we would not be able to deliver the wide range of events, high quality exhibitions and continued estate management that we currently provide.
Volunteers would need to commit to at least 3 hours a week. As a thank you for your help and hard work, Hestercombe offers volunteers free annual membership, as well as a annual volunteer get together, which is a great opportunity to socialise and get to know our team even better.
