About Opportunity

We are looking for friendly, creative & reliable people in our busy shop to help serve customers, operate the till and prepare, price & display stock. Hospices of Hope is the leading palliative care charity in South Eastern Europe. We think everyone deserves the best possible care at the end of life but in countries like Romania, Serbia and Moldova, many people still die in pain without physical, spiritual or emotional comfort. Over 20 years after the fall of communism, these are still some of the poorest countries in Europe with a struggling healthcare system that offers little or no hospice care. But during this time we have trained thousands of healthcare professionals and cared for over 10000 dying people who would otherwise have had nobody to turn to. By volunteering in our charity shops, you support these people and their families. If you would like to help, please get in touch.
