**DESCRIPTION**
**Join the Oxfam community**
As a Lead Volunteer, you will assist the shop manager in leading, managing and planning for the development of a shop team. We’ll give you ongoing training and support to get you ready to lead a shift, train your team, and be left in charge. Best of all you’ll be raising vital funds to support people facing poverty around the world.
**About this role**
At Oxfam, we believe in empowering you by giving you training and opportunities to learn new skills, develop old skills, and make the most out of your time with us. For this key role, you don’t need to have any leadership or retail experience - we’ve got you covered. You can also get some lunch and travel costs too. Whatever you need, we’re here to help.
As a Lead Volunteer you’ll make a big difference while you develop your own skills that boost your confidence. In this role, we’ll support you to:
- Effectively delegate responsibilities and coach individuals and teams
- Improve your communication skills in this customer-facing role
- Foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome
- Follow important policies around safeguarding, Health and Safety, and trading regulations
- Opening, closing and managing the shop in the shop manager’s absence
**Volunteering that works for you**
Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you. Training to be a Lead Volunteer can take anything from a few weeks to several months - everyone goes at the pace that’s right for them. If you’re not sure about this role but want to start as a standard volunteer, get in touch and we will find something right for you. By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause.
**Everyone has something to offer**
**What happens next?**
We need one reference and proof of ID for all volunteers and ask you to sign up to Oxfam's Code of Conduct. This role may require an enhanced DBS/PVG check, paid for by Oxfam.
