The Ayrshire Women's Hub CIC is a community interest group like no other. The aim is to facilitate a warm, friendly walk-in premises in Ayr, where women can go to socialise and empower each other through our free workshops, surgeries and classes. We offer a full support service to the most vulnerable people in our community and work as an intermediary between services and the people we support, ensuring they receive the help they deserve and need. We currently need a volunteer to support us with admin duties at the reception desk. Given the nature of the organisation, female volunteers would be preferred for the opportunity. Main responsibilities would be: - Using the charity log in system. - Inputting information into the system. - Meeting and greeting walk ins. - Answering phone calls and redirecting them. - Taking note of self referrals. We welcome and support volunteers from all backgrounds and we provide all necessary training. Some previous experience and a knowledge of our charity work may be an asset.
