Retail Volunteer

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Job Description

Our charity shops rely on generous donations made by the public to raise crucial funds for Marie Curie. From clothes, homeware and books, to CDs and DVDs, we sell a wide variety of products.

Without the help of our dedicated volunteers we could not provide our customers with high quality items at affordable prices. This allows us to raise funds so our nurses can continue to provide care to terminally ill people and support for their families.

We are seeking applicants aged 18 years or older - no upper age limit - with availability on one of the following days:
Thursday or Friday anytime after 12:00pm

Where possible, we will work with you to find shifts that fit your schedule.

Your role will include some of, but is not restricted to, the following tasks:

• Sort through donations, being aware of the possibility of a hidden gem and better quality brands
• Prepare items for sale by checking, hanging, steaming, sizing and pricing them
• Work on the shop floor and provide excellent customer service to our shoppers
• Operate the till
• Help out with basic housekeeping to keep the shop clean and tidy

Benefits include:

• Access to exclusive deals and discounts across retail, travel, entertainment, and more
• Marie Curie Shop Loyalty Card
