We are looking for a volunteer who is enthusiastic, energetic and positive and is committed to delivering top quality services to older people in the Greater Reading area.

  • Check clients notes for any updates
  • Take payment
  • Escort client from building after nail appointment has finished.
  • Be prepared to occasionally travel to another venue
