East Lancashire Hospice Maintenance Volunteer

This volunteering role supports the maintenance team at East Lancashire Hospice. Volunteers take part in the hospice’s annual programme and ad hoc maintenance work across the building and grounds, helping to keep the site safe, tidy and well maintained.

The role is supervised and directed by maintenance staff, so it is suitable for someone who wants practical experience in a supportive environment.

It is aimed at people with an interest in hands-on work and practical skills, particularly those who are comfortable carrying out general maintenance tasks and working as part of a team. Good communication skills are important, as volunteers will be working alongside staff and others involved in the hospice environment.

The role is based at Park Lee Road in Blackburn. Support is provided through ongoing supervision, training, health and safety guidance, and insurance cover. Accessibility is considered, with ramps and a lift in the building, and expenses for public transport or mileage are reimbursed.
