Health Volunteer Roles
Why am I needed?
Community is at the heart of everything that we do at Tenovus Cancer Care to help those affected by cancer. Our aim is simple – to deliver a vision where fewer people get cancer and those that do receive equal access to excellent treatment. However, we can’t do this without your help. Our shops in local communities are crucial to us raising vital funds. So, we’d like you to volunteer your time and commitment to help us make a difference. We need you to help value our interesting donations in our shops to help turn them into cash.
What will I be doing?
Researching interesting items online on sites such as eBay, Amazon and Abe Books to value them for sale in the shop
Enlisting help from local auction houses when needed
Working together with the shop team to identify and price high value items
Speaking with customers, making them welcome and answering queries
