Second-Hand : Retail Volunteer

Please note:
This role is only suitable for applicants aged 18 and over.

At Oxfam, we're not just selling pre‑loved books and unique finds – we're working together to build a radically better world.

With your help, we will turn pre‑loved treasures into resources that empower communities worldwide.

Be a Second‑hand Hero: In our high street shops, Ecommerce Hubs and Online Shop, people like you help create exciting and inspiring book and music collections – giving pre‑loved books and music a new life and purpose!

Share Your Interests If you have a particular interest, you can build on it to gain valuable retail experience to add to your CV, such as merchandising, customer service, and teamwork.

Find Your Community: Meet like‑minded people who share your passion for a fairer world.

Flexibility: We know life gets busy. That's why we offer flexible volunteering options. A few hours a week is all it takes to make a big difference.

Oxfam isn't just another charity shop. We're a movement of passionate individuals working to create a fairer world, and we’d love you to be a part of it!

After you apply, the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you'd like to do in the shop. From there, you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!
