Volunteer in Plymouth - Help our Housekeeping team! 

Our home from home accommodation in Plymouth sees around 10,000 patients, carers and relatives staying with us each year and we are open 365 days a year. This means there are a lot of beds to change! We have a busy team of housekeepers but an extra pair of hands to make the odd bed or two is always greatly appreciated!
