Visual Merchandising Volunteer (Lower Parkstone)

This opportunity takes place between 26 Mar 2024 and 30 Sep 2024

As a Visual Merchandising Volunteer you will help our friendly shop team to look its best by creating fantastic displays. 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.

  • Improve your communication skills as part of a team
  • Boost your organisational skills
  • Using your creativity to make eye-catching displays
  • Keeping the shop looking its best by arranging stock
  • Fill stock on the shop floor and keeping the place clean and well-organised

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!

Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you. By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause. Improve your communication skills as part of a team, boost your organisational skills.
