Shop Volunteer; General Assistant - Barton Humber Furniture

Your local British Red Cross shop offers a variety of volunteering activities, including sorting stock, preparing donated items for sale, and providing excellent customer service to donors and customers. This is a great place to learn new skills and share existing ones.

We are currently looking for General Assistant volunteers to help us in our shop. Activities include helping behind the scenes with sorting and preparing donated stock and setting up attractive displays on the shop floor, among many others.

If you can spare a few hours a week on a regular basis, this may be the right opportunity for you.

• Checking the quality of donated items and preparing them for sale or recycling
• Ironing, cleaning, labelling, and pricing items ready for sale
• Keeping the shop well organised and tidy
• General activities around the shop

No experience is needed. Full training will be provided.

There is no expectation to use a till or computer in this volunteering role.

A few hours during the week or weekend – as agreed with the shop manager.

There is no minimum commitment or fixed hours; we only ask that you agree on hours you are confident you can attend and let us know if those hours may change.

We celebrate diversity and want volunteers to feel authentic and belonging. We create an inclusive environment and spread the power of kindness. We have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses related to their role. If upfront costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers, and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us.

Volunteering is accessible to everyone.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and have a conversation to discuss any adjustments you may need. Some locations may not be able to host 15‑17 year olds; please get in touch so we can help you find a suitable volunteering opportunity.
