Retail Volunteer - Warehouse

Looking for a volunteering opportunity? See the latest Scotland wide volunteering opportunities at Volunteer Scotland. We also regularly update our website with the latest opportunities within West Lothian.

From stunning boutiques full of designer gems to discount stores where you can grab a bargain, our charity shops are much-loved across Scotland.

We are looking for someone with first-rate organisational skills to volunteer alongside the warehouse team by helping to prepare and send out orders to our shops, colleagues across the organisation, and our online customers.

We believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following the diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid. Our shops are vital in helping us raise the funds needed to provide services such as community support services, specialist nurses, advice and information, education, and peer support.

Join our fabulous team of Retail volunteers and learn new skills, make great friends, and make a real difference to people in Scotland who are isolated, scared, or anxious about their condition.

This is an opportunity to undertake a satisfying and rewarding role. The role includes helping to make up greeting cards and gift orders for our online customers and assisting with preparing packages for distribution to our shops. Skills required are being comfortable and confident to engage with fellow team members, being confident to pick stock and make up orders, and basic ICT skills.
