Our charity funds around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They’re all connected, and they’re all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.
This is an exciting time to join the British Heart Foundation as a Team Recruitment Volunteer. Your role will be to assist the Shop Manager to welcome volunteers into our organisation by providing a quality recruitment and induction support service for our volunteers. You’ll acquire hands-on experience of various different volunteer roles in our shop, be shown how to settle in new volunteers and learn how to recruit new volunteers.
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 17 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
