  • Researching product details online
  • Writing clear, engaging descriptions of products
  • Finding and assigning the correct postage rate
  • Using a laptop and internet to list items


Your skills and abilities:

  • Basic computer literacy (experience with eBay is a plus but not essential)
  • Good organisational skills and strong attention to detail
  • Ability to take clear photographs and write accurate descriptions
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Ability to lift and move items of varying sizes and weights safely (if required)


Benefits to you:

  • Meet new people and learn new skills
  • Work with a friendly team and be part of the Isabel family
  • Support your local community
  • Contribute to the provision of care to our patients
  • Comprehensive induction and training
  • Support with your career goals and personal development

Am I eligible to volunteer?

We ask that our volunteers are:

  • At least 18 years old
  • Live within an easy commute to the area
  • Interested in volunteering for at least 6 months for at least 3 hours per week

All volunteers are assessed individually for the volunteer roles they are applying for. We strongly believe in equal opportunities and welcome applicants who are representative of our diverse communities.


Expectations: 

  • Maintain confidentiality in accordance with Isabel Hospice guidelines.
  • Have a professional and courteous manner in accordance with Isabel Hospice policies
  • Demonstrate Isabel Hospice values
  • Identifying yourself as a volunteer while carrying out your duties

​​​​All appointments are at the discretion of the management team and are subject to a one-month trial period for both parties.
