DEBRA has six holiday homes at locations around the UK.

To help DEBRA provide memorable holidays and vital respite to people living with EB and their families, DEBRA has a number of holiday homes that members can hire at a low cost.

We require volunteers to support us by visiting our holiday home to look over the property internally and externally spotting any maintenance required, health & safety issues, cleanliness and to generally making sure the holiday home is well equipped and report back to us.

Commitment

Flexible (let us know how often you would be available to visit a holiday home, i.e. weekly, fortnightly, and monthly, etc.).

 

The role will involve

Regularly visiting our holiday home to look over the property internally and externally spotting any maintenance required, health & safety issues, cleanliness and to generally making sure the holiday home is well equipped with good quality items and equipment that is not broken or worn and report back to us.

Ideally we would also like to be able to provide a basic grocery welcome pack in each holiday at the start of each booking. We would also like our volunteers to replace small items as they see fit, e.g. replacing a shower mat, purchasing salt/rinse aid and filling up the dishwasher to prolong its life (if applicable), and of course expenses for items purchased will be reimbursed.

 

What we require from you

• We are looking for people who will view the holiday home as a ‘home away from home’.
• Have our members’ interests at heart.
• Someone who has an eye for detail.
• Some maintenance or DIY skills would be helpful, but not essential.
