After the success of our first charity shop in Devizes, Julia’s House is opening a brand new second shop in Devizes this February, 2026. We’re looking for friendly, caring volunteers to join our amazing team and help make a real difference to local children and families.

Our shops simply couldn’t run without the incredible support of volunteers like you. Whether you love meeting people or prefer working behind the scenes, there’s a role to suit everyone.

• Sort Room Support – Help us sort through generous donations, steam and tag items, and get them ready to shine on the shop floor.
• Cash Desk Superstar – Be the friendly face of Julia’s House! Serve customers, share updates about our work, and make every visitor feel welcome.

We’re looking for support Monday to Saturday, with flexible shifts to suit you:

• Morning: 9:00am – 1:00pm
• Afternoon: 1:00pm – 5:00pm

Even a few hours each week makes a huge difference – and we’ll always try to fit around your availability, so please discuss what is suitable for you.

• Learn new skills (with full training provided)
• Boost your confidence and wellbeing
• Gain great experience for your CV
• Have fun while supporting families who need it most

No experience? No problem! All you need is a friendly, reliable attitude and a passion for helping others – we’ll teach you everything else.

Volunteering with Julia’s House means being part of something truly special – supporting local children with life-limiting conditions and giving their families precious moments together.

We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch today to find out more or register your interest.

Julia’s House is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and our aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. Based on our current staffing profile, we have identified that there is an under-representation of: (a) individuals of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, so would especially welcome BAME applicants for any of our vacant positions;

and (b) males, so we would welcome male applicants for any of our vacant positions and especially for any care and nursing roles.
