Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

This role will support a review of our property leases so that they meet our commercial needs. St Peter's Hospice provides excellent end of life care for patients and families across the South West.

What will you be doing?

To support a review of our property leases and update and evolve our current ‘property terrier’ document so that it aligns with our commercial needs.

We have 44 stores and lease 38 of these. You will be reviewing these leases and extracting key sections such as dilapidation and insurance responsibility and checking other details including lease length and break clauses. You will create a new or update our existing internal property document (property terrier) and ensure it has all the relevant information recorded accurately and in a format that is easy to use.

You will attend an initial scoping meeting at the start of the project where we discuss the key points and actions. You’ll then have key business partner support from both the retail and finance teams where you can seek clarification on any aspect of the role.

We expect this to be a short term project but with a potential to extend should it be required.

What are we looking for?

  • Detailed knowledge and understanding of UK retail property leases.
  • Ability to sift through leases and extract agreed information.
  • Able to work with a high level of detail
  • A good understanding of Excel

What difference will you make?

Your help and expertise will ensure that our charity retail portfolio is properly administered and meets our commercial needs. This in turn enables us to continue raising much needed income that funds excellent end of life care. 

Before you apply

  • Please contact us via Reach with any questions.
  • Please provide a brief cover letter that details your relevant experience.
  • Interviews will be an informal Zoom chat with our Director or Retail.
