Posted 9 years ago in the Volunteers and fundraisers category

We have a new volunteering opportunity at our Midlands Centre for someone local to support the charity by making sure the Canine Partners cars, vans and minibuses are looking spick and span.

When our dog trainers and fundraisers are out and about in our vehicles representing the Charity, it is essential that they give a good impression to the public. Part of this is making sure the Canine Partners cars, vans and minibuses are looking spick and span.

We’d, of course, love our trainers to spend their time training dogs; so we have a new volunteering opportunity at our Midlands Centre for someone local who would like to support the charity and who is not afraid of getting their sleeves rolled up and their hands dirty!

What does the role include?

  • Take responsibility for the cleanliness and any minor maintenance issues to the fleet of vehicles based at the Canine Partners Midlands Centre.
  • The fleet includes: 1 small van, 1 transit van, 1 minibus and 5 medium sizes cars.

What are the duties and responsibilities?

  • To regularly clean the outside of all vehicles
  • To replace windscreen wipers when needed
  • To top up screen-wash when required
  • To thoroughly check the exterior of the vehicles regularly and report any repair or maintenance issues to the Canine Partners Maintenance team.

How much time is required?

  • The position is part-time, ad hoc
  • It is not likely that all vehicles will be onsite at the same time so some flexibility with working days may be necessary

Where is the role based?

  • At our Midlands Centre, Ashby Road, Osgathorpe, Leicestershire LE12 9SR

Will my expenses be paid?

  • All equipment will be provided although suitable clothing and personal protective equipment will need to be provided by the volunteer.
  • Reasonable expenses will be paid with prior permission from a member of staff.

What do I do next?
