Volunteer Vacancies
Volunteer Cook
We are looking for someone to help with preparing and cooking lunch for our cafe visitors on Mondays. The hours are between 9am and 2pm. Cooking lunch for the NDRC involves preparing a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, and rice for up to 100 people within a limited budget. Flexibility and a certain amount of creativity are useful traits. Whilst donations of meat and pasta are received, a small amount of shopping is necessary. Additionally, working with the administrator to order and maintain a cupboard of basic food items is important. This requires a person who can plan ahead with an eye to budget. You will be assisted by another volunteer, so will not be undertaking this task alone. Our lunch service sits at the heart of the centre, making this an exceptionally rewarding role.
If you are interested, please send your CV and a covering letter to Saskia (Volcoordinator@notredamerc.org.uk).
