Shop Volunteer
2 days ago
If you want retail experience, nothing beats our BHF Fashion shops. As a retail assistant volunteer you’ll be at the heart of helping run the shop - whether you’re on the shop floor helping with sales, or behind the scenes processing donations with fellow team members.
This is a flexible retail assistant role where you can try different roles throughout the shop until you find your niche, such as sorting out stock, putting your own stamp on the shop displays or getting trained to serve customers on the till, to name but a few roles.
Our shop volunteers are essential to the running of our shops - we couldn’t do it without them. Whichever retail assistant role you choose to do, you’ll be part of a small team raising funds to help the BHF beat heartbreak forever.
Say hello to the team:
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Now, more than ever, we are in urgent need of volunteers to enable us to continue our life saving research and help the 7.6 million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory diseases. This wouldn’t be possible without our fantastic volunteers.
Our team is welcoming and friendly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.
Typical tasks include:
- Serving customers on the till & providing good all-round customer service
- Promoting our campaigns and instore sales to customers
- Working on window and shop displays alongside the paid team
- Sorting donations in the stock room ready for sale, helping run a department
- Keeping the shop tidy, clean and well organised - some light housekeeping
You get a lot from volunteering too:
- A chance to work in a friendly team, make new friends & meet a diverse group
- The feel-good factor of helping the British Heart Foundation beat heartbreak forever
- The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
- The ability to gain valuable retail experience to add to your CV and learn new skills
- Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle around your other commitments
- Reasonable travel reimbursed in agreement with the Manager
