Retail Admin Volunteer

Volunteer to help Sue Ryder to be there when it matters.

About us

Our Shinfield Road shop is looking for volunteers to join the team. As the largest Sue Ryder shop in the Reading area, our Shinfield Road store has a fantastic variety of new and donated goods. From furniture to bric-a-brac and electrical items, to ladies and men's and kids' clothing. Come and visit and find that great brand at a bargain price. A unique aspect of our store is that we also stock second-hand bicycles, upcycled for us and fully safety tested.

About you

Join the team to volunteer to answer our phone and to deal with enquiries from the general public. As this is not a full time demand, you can support us a general volunteer finding other things that you might like to do, in between calls or dealing with face to face customer enquiries.

How you’ll benefit
- Join a friendly team & make new friends
- Gain confidence & customer service skills
- Get valuable retail experience & enhance your CV
- Receive discounted donated goods and travel expenses
- Give back to your community
- Support people through the most difficult times of their lives

You will also be helping us to inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Full training will be provided, and travel at a reasonable local rate can be reimbursed for shifts of four hours or more, as agreed with the local manager.

How much time does the role take up?

Volunteering is flexible and can be a regular morning or afternoon. You can opt for weekdays, weekends, or as and when you are available.

Why not arrange a taster session?

You can register your interest in volunteering online or directly in store. You can have a no-obligation taster session in your chosen shop.

About Sue Ryder

We provide care, bereavement and emotional support in our hospices and neurological centres, in people's homes, online and in the community.

Sue Ryder is one of the UK’s largest charity retailers with over 400 shops.

Our shops generate funding so we can provide an annual 2.7 million hours of expert medical care.
