Shop Volunteer; General Assistant - Narberth

Your local British Red Cross shop has a variety of activities available for volunteers to support us in. From sorting stock and preparing donated items for sale to providing great customer service to our donors and customers, we have something to suit most people’s interests. Our shop is a great place to learn new skills and share existing ones.

We are currently looking for General Assistant volunteers to help us in our shop. Activities available include helping behind the scenes in sorting and preparing donated stock, helping prepare attractive displays on the shop floor, and many more.

If you have a few hours a week you can spare on a regular basis, then this may be the opportunity for you!

Shop

No two days in our shops are ever the same. From the exciting donations that come through our door, to the wonderful customers who shop with us, our shops are ever changing. But one thing that never changes is that we need volunteers to help us spread the power of kindness.

• Checking the quality of items donated and preparing them for sale or for recycling.
• Ironing, cleaning, labelling and pricing items ready for sale.
• Keeping the shop well organised and tidy.
• General activities around the shop.

No experience is needed. Full training will be provided. Please note there is no expectation to use a till or computer in this volunteering role.

• No previous experience is needed.
• A warm smile and a friendly outlook.

• Meet new people and be part of a dynamic and inclusive team.
• Build up your confidence.
• Use existing skills or gain new ones.
• Reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses for the role, including attending training.
• Become part of the world's largest humanitarian organisation and make a positive difference to people's lives.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and discuss any adjustments you may need. Some locations may not be able to host 15-17 year-olds – please get in touch so we can help you find a suitable volunteering opportunity.

We celebrate diversity and want you to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross. We want to create an inclusive environment and promote kindness. As part of this, we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for role-related expenses. If upfront costs are difficult, speak to your volunteering manager to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and other people currently in the UK to volunteer with us.

We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.
