Summary
Retail with a difference. Help out in our charming Farm Shop and Reception Centre!Detailed description
We seek an enthusiastic volunteer (or volunteers) to help out at our farm shop. The shop is a retail setting that also functions as a reception centre. The work is varied and offers dynamic interactions with customers and some involvement with basic IT systems such as the till and booking system. Full training will be provided, but some experience of 'customer-facing' work would be an advantage.
There are a variety of related tasks that we always need help with: stock management and administration, cleanliness and organization, creating attractive displays and signage. Some familiarity with a paintbrush or drill might also prove useful from time to time!
The shop is open 9-5, 7 days a week, so any hours you have available would be a help and can be varied according to your needs and ours.
Own transportation is required due to limited public transport to Ardeley.
Getting there
About Church Farm Ardelely Cic
We offer educational trips, internships and programmes to local schools and colleges and also work in partnership with North Hertfordshire College to provide accredited training for their students with learning disabilities on the farm.
We are able to cater to single volunteers, small groups through to large corporate events. Increasingly, we have seen companies opting to do something ‘real’ for building their teams. A 2017 study found that a company’s CSR strategy is a big factor in where
today’s top talent chooses to work. Often this is referred to as the triple bottom
line: People, Planet, and Revenue. Companies are encouraged to put that increased
profit into programmes that give back.
Events at the farm are ideal for groups who prefer to do something real on Team Building & Away Days, who want a fulfilling learning programme as well as practical experience. Church Farm Ardeley & Aldenham Country Park are particularly suited to organisations and events that are about sustainability and to those that take seriously
the impact enterprise can have on people and the environment. Events can range from half day seminars to programmes over several days.
Team-building opportunities – such programmes can help build bonds, strengthen communication skills and boost morale while making a positive difference in the lives of people who need it most. Above all, participating in CSR team building programs are
both fun and fulfilling.
