Shop Volunteer
6 days ago
Here's 5 reasons you'll love to volunteer in our shops: It's fun It's flexible You'll learn and share skills You'll be making a difference You'll work with a great team We're passionate about what we do, and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home.
Our shop teams are key to raising vital funds for our work and act as incredible advocates for the rights of children both in the UK and around the world.
Volunteering in the shop Our gorgeous shop in historic Windsor has been at the heart of the community since the early 1990's (it's truly vintage)
and has in recent years been transformed into a bespoke Mary's Living & Giving store.
Our Windsor Shop Volunteers are in the middle of it all, and there's plenty to get involved with.
You might be sorting and pricing stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised.
It's up to you how much you commit.
We have volunteers who support for a couple of hours a week and some do more.
Many people volunteer either a morning or an afternoon each week - this is something that will be discussed at the selection stage, after you've applied.
Why volunteer with Save the Children?
In over 110 countries, we support children to transform their lives.
By providing live-saving short-term help, and pushing for deep-rooted social change, we help children take, their future into their own hands.
We believe every child has the right to learn.
Every child should have good food to fuel their bodies and every child should have medicine when they're sick.
Skills and experiences we seek We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences.
You don't need any retail or shop experience as full training will be provided.
What's important to us is that you are a team player, open to learning and to follow our policies as well as be an excellent representative for Save the Children.
We know that our shop teams are stronger when they are inclusive and representative of their communities.
Everybody can make a real difference.
People come to us for all sorts of reasons, from all backgrounds, and we will do what we can to find a role that works for you.
What happens next?
After you've filled in an application, we will invite you for an informal trial shift.
It's a great opportunity to visit the shop, meet some of our existing volunteers and have a go at some of the tasks that you would be supporting with as a shop volunteer.
Hopefully allowing you to get a feel for the role and make sure it's for you.
We also ask for a couple of references (these don't have to be formal workplace ones, just someone who has known you for over 6 months and isn't related).
How to apply Express your interest on email via the apply button.
Please note, that we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this post.
