Jewish Care is the largest provider of health and social community-based services to the Jewish community through community centres, residential homes, specialist day services for people with dementia and mental health, home care, social work, family carers, and community support and information and advice.
Our services are delivered to 7000 people through a diverse workforce of 1100 paid staff and 2800 volunteers. Volunteers are involved in all areas of our business, from board games with clients to boardroom decision-making. We value the contribution of our volunteers through personal development programmes, public recognition, and thanks.
Jewish Care is seeking volunteers to assist with the smooth running of weekly Friday and/or other activities. The role involves:
1. Helping to pack challahs on a fortnightly basis to be delivered to Holocaust survivors.
2. Opening the doors and greeting visitors.
3. Directing visitors to where they need to go.
This is a wonderful, warm, and rewarding role and would be most enjoyable for the right person. We would love you to set up a small Ulpan group to enable members to learn or improve their Hebrew.
Older members from the local community come to meet, socialise, enjoy activities, and lunch at our centre. Understanding how to use a mobile camera can help clients feel more connected and included in their community.
We require someone who is reliable, flexible, and able to take initiative to support our front desk, as well as a friendly, inclusive person to join our Kiddush rota for Anita Dorfman Residential Home.
Why not make this year the year of positive action? Come and volunteer for us and help us make a difference.
