The volunteers will welcome families to the Toy Library and explain to new members how the library works.  Like a book library, volunteers will check in returning toys, making sure the toys are complete and not damaged. Members are allowed to borrow up to 15 toys per month for an annual cash fee of £20.00. Each toy is numbered and is logged onto the system when borrowed.

At start of session toys have to be taken out from store cupboard and displayed in hall enabling families/members to browse through available toys. At end of session toys have to be returned to store cupboard.

The volunteer will need basic computer skills as records are kept on a laptop. Training will be given.

This is a fun role helping children choose toys and chatting to families.

The Toy Library is held at Mortimer Methodist Church Hall - accessible by the Line 2 bus service. There is a car park on site.

What skills do I need?

This role is not difficult and if you like talking and helping people, it is the role for you. Some ability is required to lift and stack boxes of toys but if this proves too difficult for you we would still value your assistance, helping to greet families and making them familiar with our range of toys.

You need to enjoy talking to families, like children and enjoy discussing toys. No qualifications needed but you will need references.
