Volunteer: Vinted Fashion Shop Lead

Smart Works Leeds is a Yorkshire based charity that exists to empower unemployed women into work through the provision of high quality interview clothing and one to one interview coaching.

As a charity, Smart Works sells clothing as part of the fundraising efforts. Our clothing is generously donated from the public, corporate organisations and our retail partners such as Hush, Scamp & Dude, Whistles, Hobbs and many more. Anything that is not interview or work appropriate we sell at our in‑person pop up events or online via Vinted.

Smart Works Leeds is looking for volunteers to oversee and manage their Vinted online selling page.

To establish and manage this project, we ideally would like a commitment of 1‑2 days per week. We can be flexible regarding the length of time you are able to commit to this, as it may suit someone who is looking for a summer project initially. We are also happy to look at sharing this role between more than one person if a weekly 2 day commitment is not possible.

The work will be undertaken at Mabgate Mills, and we are open Monday – Friday only.

Tasks would include:

• Photographing and listing items on our Smart Works Leeds Vinted page.
• Taking care to note any faults, imperfections or unique selling points of each item.
• Reply to messages on Vinted and accept/decline offers.
• Once items have been sold, package and post these items at local drop off points.
• Organise and maintain the ‘Vinted corner’ of the stock room, ensuring anything that is listed is easily accessed for posting.

Do you have…

• An awareness of fashion brands.
• Knowledge of online selling via Vinted or other fashion sites.
• A passion for the Smart Works Mission and using fashion as a force for good.

• Contribute towards the fundraising target for Smart Works Leeds where all funds go directly towards running our service. Therefore you will directly impact the life of an unemployed woman in the Yorkshire.
• Gain valuable work experience and a chance to join a network of incredible volunteers within our community.
