This is a great opportunity for a friendly and outgoing person to support the work of Cats Protection by helping out at one of our charity shops. Volunteers will be asked to help with all aspects of running a small business. The role includes setting out the shop, arranging the stock, window dressing, dealing with the customers, sorting out new stock, and pricing. This role would suit anyone with or without previous retail experience. The shops are run and organised by volunteers and we would welcome your support.
Each night of the week, Bridge FM have a Request Show and a Studio Assistant is needed for each one.

Home-Start Dundee provides support to families who have at least one child of pre-school age. The support is provided by the home-visiting befriender who will receive training and then be matched with a suitable family. They will usually visit for 1-3 hours per week. The befriender may provide emotional support to a parent adapting to change or provide practical assistance to a family who may be struggling with day-to-day issues affecting them. The befriender may just need to be a good listener or be able to sign-post the family to other support that is available to them. The befriender will be able to help families cope with the pressures they face and can make a real difference to a family as they move forward in life.
This can involve helping with difficult "handovers" in emotionally sensitive situations. Our neutrality is particularly important in contact situations and the volunteer will be required to engage with both parents without giving advice, counselling or expressing an opinion. Ensuring the availability of suitable play equipment and materials, and giving ideas for play and parent child interaction (if asked) is part of the duties, as is encouraging parents to tidy up the Centre at the end of contact and providing tea and coffee.

This role does not require customer contact but would be working as part of a team overall.
