Volunteer

Description

The new SVP Vincents shop in Ennis opened it's doors earlier this year and is looking fantastic! We have a cosy donations-based café serving tea and coffee for visitors to meet up, socialise or to just take a break. We are looking for volunteers to help out in a variety of activities, from sorting donations, helping out in the café, on the shop floor or in a more hands on role which requires meeting with and talking to our service users. There are plenty of opportunities for you to expand your skill set and for anyone interested pursuing a career in social care there is the  chance to gain invaluable experience so get in contact today! The more the merrier and it's never too late to sign up
