Turning Tides
Roffey Place is a short-term accommodation service, where the needs of each individual are assessed and supported. Individuals are supported to transition from Roffey Place to suitable longer-term accommodation that also meets their needs at that time. The service is for local homeless people who have suffered multiple and often prolonged disadvantages throughout their life.
As such residents typically remain in the service for between 6 and 9 months during which time, they are supported to develop the skills and networks to be able to live independently in the community.
The service adopts a multi-agency approach, with ample space and facilities to support this, including provision for organisations to work directly with clients and connect with one another onsite. A clinical room, counselling rooms, digital inclusions facilities and training rooms will support the delivery of therapeutic services, medical interventions and skills development. We also have a large kitchen for catering and training. This holistic approach to well-being empowers clients to develop skills and independence.
We are looking for friendly and reliable volunteers to help create a warm and welcoming environment for our clients during breakfast sessions.
What the role involves:
Communicating clearly with staff on duty and being flexible to their needs.
Following confidentiality, professional boundaries, and health & safety policies at all times.
Preparing and cooking a hot breakfast for our clients.
Chatting with clients and helping to create a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
Assisting with tidying up afterwards.
Time commitment:
Around 2 hours per session
Flexible commitment – available weekly or bi‑weekly
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys cooking, socialising, and making a positive difference in their community.
