Stockroom Volunteer

This opportunity takes place between 13 Mar 2024 and 30 Sep 2024

As a Stockroom Volunteer, you will help our friendly shop team by sorting, checking, and making the most of the fantastic variety of donated items in our friendly shop. Best of all you’ll be raising vital funds to support people facing poverty around the world.

We will give you all the training and support you need so you will develop your skills as part of our team. You don’t need to have any experience – we’ve got you covered. You can also get some lunch and travel costs too. Whatever you need, we’re here to help.

You can focus on any part of volunteering that interests you the most. As a Stockroom Volunteer you’ll develop skills that boost your confidence. We’ll train you to make the most of our donations by sorting, cleaning, researching and pricing all sorts of items. You’ll learn about stock management systems and everything we do behind the scenes to make the most out of donations.

  • You’ll get an eye for detail by sorting through fantastic donations
  • Improve your communication skills as part of a team
  • Training and experience to boost your organisation skills
  • Support sustainability by making the most of donations

Along with learning all about this role, you can branch out and try other things. Whether it’s about the shop floor or behind the scenes, we will help you to learn as many skills as you want.

After you apply the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you'd like to do in the shop. From there you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!

Benefits to self

Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you. We will give you all the training and support you need so you will develop your skills as part of our team. By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause.
