REF: 69eb4c9fdd45d

Making Space is a values led charity and a leading provider of health and social care services since 1982. Stockport Connect Hub is a safe space who are accessing or have accessed secondary mental health services. There is a cafe at Stockport Connect Hub where people can buy low cost nutritional meals. The cafe is open from Monday - Friday from 11am - 2pm. You will be assisting the cooks and volunteers with running the cafe including greeting customers, taking orders, to assist the cook with preparing food and drink following food hygiene procedures. We are looking for volunteers to help on Monday, Thursday and Friday as we would benefit from more support on these days.

Role

For this role, you do need to do a DBS check as part of the application as you would be volunteering with adults who are more at risk living with mental illness. You do need to be over 18 and it is essential that you have an understanding of mental illness either professionally or personally. Ideally some experience of working/volunteering in a kitchen is useful but not essential. When you start, you will do Food Hygiene e-learning.
