Are you looking for a way to keep active? Support the Cardiac Rehabilitation team to set up equipment for their exercise sessions in Lowestoft.
Do you like to keep active and are keen to support your local community? If so, this could be the ideal role for you!
By assisting to set up the room ready for the class, you will enable the clinical team to focus on tasks only they can perform. This means East Coast Community Healthcare’s (ECCH) Cardiac Rehabilitation team will have more time to support the patients they care for.
Key Responsibilities
• Setting up the room with the equipment required for the weekly exercise sessions. This includes moving small weights, chairs, tables and putting up information posters around the room in particular places, as directed by staff.
• Tidying away all equipment and resources at the end of the sessions.
• Cleaning equipment with disinfectant wipes to maintain infection control.
• Meet and greet patients arriving for the class. Answering the door and directing patients where to go on their arrival.
The role is based at Stella Maris Hall, Lowestoft, NR32 1NL. The shift is on Thursdays between 9.30am-10.45am. Time off for holidays and other commitments is fine.
This opportunity will suit someone who is physically well and mobile enough to undertake manual handling tasks safely. Training will be provided. You don't need any previous experience in healthcare environment. You will need the ability to follow instructions and guidance from staff and to inspire trust and confidence by being reliable and punctual.
You will be required to attend a half day training session in Lowestoft prior to starting. You will need to provide 2 character references (not family members). This role requires a standard DBS check (at no cost to you). If you have previous convictions these will not necessarily prevent you from volunteering and we would still welcome your application. We assess any criminal record disclosures on a case by case basis and you will be supported through the application process by a volunteer coordinator.
