Interested in volunteering at Centre 33?
Are you interested in providing practical support for rough sleepers and others in St Albans with inadequate housing?
Can you work in a small team, preparing simple meals and drinks?
Do you enjoy meeting new people?
Are you over 18?
If so, working as a volunteer at Centre 33 could be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for you.
We need volunteers particularly for weekday mornings (10.00 – 12.00) and Saturday lunchtimes (12.00 – 14.00). But if you could only do evenings, please also get in touch.
How to apply
You can call in and look around the Centre whenever we are open. Just tell the volunteers on duty why you are there and they will be happy to talk about working at the Centre. A good time to call would be about 45 minutes before closing time when the main rush is over and the volunteers should have more time to chat.
If you'd like to apply, please do contact our Volunteer Coordinator through Volunteers@Centre33.org and we will send you an application form. We will need the names of two people (not related) who can provide references.
Once you are accepted we will aim to get you working at the Centre with experienced people as soon as possible. We will also arrange your induction training.
What does volunteering at Centre 33 involve?
Volunteers arrive half an hour before the Centre opens. This gives them time to get things ready and prepare the food which is provided by the Centre. They then serve food and drinks and give out towels and toiletries as required. There is always the opportunity to chat with the visitors, who appreciate the warm welcome given to them. Afterwards there is the washing up using a commercial dishwasher and general cleaning to leave the Centre ready for the next session. Volunteers spend about two hours at the Centre altogether.
The Centre always operates with a team of two or three volunteers on duty. All new volunteers start working with two other experienced volunteers.
The Volunteer Coordinator arranges the weekly rota. Volunteers have complete flexibility to say when they would like to come to the Centre. Typically it might be a two-hour session once a week or a fortnight, but it can be anything that suits you.
All our volunteers benefit from training in relevant courses - for example health and safety and food hygiene.
