Charity Shop Assistant

Whether you prefer working behind the scenes or on the shop floor in a customer facing role there are plenty of tasks to get involved with. Our volunteer requirement for the Moorland Road shop is on Tuesdays between 1-4pm.

Your key activities could include:

• Assisting and serving customers on the till.
• Providing excellent customer service on the shop floor.
• Creating attractive displays & assisting with the visual merchandising of the shop.
• Receiving donations from the public & promoting our Gift Aid scheme.
• Assisting with the processing of donated stock. Including sorting, steaming, and hanging of items.
• Other daily tasks including cleaning, tidying, dusting, and hoovering.

About You

You will be a motivated and enthusiastic individual with a love for animals. Good communication and customer care skills are the key to a successful charity shop so the ability to work as part of a team and with the general public is desirable. There is a manual handling element to the role so this should be considered on application. 

What We Can Offer

Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and learn new skills. You may be looking to build your confidence or keep yourself busy with meaningful work, or perhaps learn valuable skills and gain experience within the retail sector to boost your CV. There are many positives to volunteering in one of our charity shops.

Training

Full, in store training will be provided. All that we ask is that you are eager to learn and have a positive attitude. 

All staff and volunteers are required to complete online Health & Safety training prior to their start date. Due to insurance restrictions, we can only take on volunteers over the age of 18.
