Could you be the friendly face of your local British Heart Foundation shop in Wellington, with support around you and full training provided, you will be processing sales through the till as a cashier, talking to customers and thanking every donor - helping us continue to fund lifesaving research.

This is a customer focussed role where you will meet and interact with a wide range of people.

We can reimburse reasonable travelling expenses and we provide tea, coffee and biscuits.

We are open 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Saturday

Ramblers Wellbeing Walks, Telford and Wrekin currently run 17 walks across 11 different locations in Telford, most are weekly, with one running twice a month and 3 just once a month.

These walks are supported by 26 active leaders. Unlike many Ramblers Wellbeing Walks schemes, this is run by a purely volunteer group.  

The aims of the scheme are to provide free, friendly, dependable walks that only need good footwear. The walks are graded at 3 levels, none lasting longer than 90 mins.

The scheme is now looking for Walk Leaders:

Although the scheme is running successfully, recruiting more walk leaders would decrease the pressure on current leaders and give more flexibility.  Map reading and compass skills not required!

Main duties:

Leading a particular walk(s) on a schedule to be agreed.

Time Commitment:

Up to 3 hours weekly, at agreed times and venues

Minimum commitment:  1 hour on a regular basis a month.  

Location:

Various locations across Telford.

Are you interested in the development of Adult Social Care in Telford and Wrekin?

We are looking for volunteers to join our Making It Real Board, which gives local people a really important opportunity to have their say about social care services locally and to influence the way these services are developed.

Members of the board meet once a month for a couple of hours to have discussions and share their knowledge about adult social care, including the opportunity to:

- Provide feedback to decision makers

- Bring and share powerful stories and experiences

- Network in a positive way with other people who have an interest in social care

- Inform policies and influence local services

- Test the accuracy and readability of public documents before they are published

Are you qualified, knowledgeable or experienced on a particular topic? Would you be willing to share your expertise with our staff or customers?

Topics might include mental health, substance misuse, anxiety, first aid, professional boundaries etc.

If you could run a session or workshop on any of the above topics or perhaps a different topic that you feel might be of benefit then please get in touch.
