About the role

Do you enjoy sewing and want to use your talents to make a meaningful difference? We are looking for compassionate volunteers who can help create memorial bears from a loved one's clothing. These special bears provide comfort and lasting memories for families during their time of grief. Whether you are an experienced seamstress, tailor, quilter, or simply enjoy sewing, your skills can help create treasured keepsakes that families will cherish for years to come. If you are interested in volunteering your time and talent, we would love to hear from you. Please contact me for more information.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
