Are you looking for a Volunteering opportunity?

Would you like to make a positive difference to the lives of our older residents living in our Retirement Living communities?

Are you green fingered? Do you enjoy the outdoor life? Would you like to meet new people and share your love of gardening? Then we may have the perfect volunteering role for you!

We currently have an opportunity for a Gardener at Chapel Close, Bomere Heath. Our retirement living residents take great pride in their gardens, although for mobility of capability reasons some may not be able to do as much in their gardens as they would like. They would be very grateful for any help an enthusiastic gardener could provide.

As a Volunteer Gardener you will be looking after a resident’s own garden, including:

• basic garden maintenance, including, planting, sewing, weeding, mulching, edging, raking, digging over, deadheading and bed preparation.

• path sweeping and removing leaves in the autumn months, watering plants and shrubs in the hot summer months.

• working alone but may be joined by the resident in the garden, so we are looking for someone who can offer light conversation and companionship.

If this sounds like something you’d like to be involved in, please apply!

Care Plus commitment to you:

• Induction programme to ensure you have the skills and confidence to fulfil your role.
• All volunteers will require a DBS check which will be paid for by us.
• Out of pocket expenses reimbursed, including travel costs
• Additional training opportunities offered
• All volunteers will be supported by the Engagement and Volunteer Team and their skills and contribution to the group will be reviewed on a regular basis. 

We’re looking for Volunteers to help us to bring our values to life and ensure our customers receive outstanding services.

By volunteering at Care Plus, you will be part of an organisation that’s determined to make a positive difference to homes, lives and communities.

We know that people volunteer for many different reasons.  Whatever your reason for volunteering and whatever time you are able to commit, we would love to hear from you. There is no upper age limit to volunteering with us, however you will need to be over the age of 18.

Join our Volunteering Team and help us to put the PLUS in Care Plus
