We are looking for someone to help us at the reception desk, and provide a warm greeting to all guests! Tasks will be basic and easy to learn - answering the phone, welcoming guests and offering coffee or snacks, finding out who they are there to see, informing staff, and providing other clerical support.
Volunteers will be trained and fully supported by on-site staff - you will be part of an inspiring TEAM of people doing GOOD in the community, and changing lives!!
