Role description

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference by offering hair cutting, styling, and basic nail care services to residents. These services play an important role in promoting self-esteem, dignity, and wellbeing—helping individuals feel cared for, confident, and valued during their recovery process.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide haircuts, simple styling, and/or nail care (e.g., manicures, basic treatments)
  • Create a welcoming and respectful environment for all residents
  • Work collaboratively with staff to ensure a safe and supportive experience
  • Offer a listening ear and positive encouragement, when appropriate

What We’re Looking For

  • Qualified or experienced hairdresser, barber, or nail technician
  • Friendly, empathetic, and non-judgemental approach
  • Reliable and able to commit to agreed volunteer sessions
  • Comfortable working within a professional care environment

What You’ll Gain

  • The opportunity to make a real, visible difference in people’s lives
  • A rewarding and meaningful volunteer experience
  • Support from a dedicated team within the recovery centre
  • Valuable experience working in a health and wellbeing setting

Time Commitment

Flexible sessions available (e.g., weekly, fortnightly, or ad hoc), depending on your availability.
