Retail Volunteer, Hexham Shop

Retail Volunteers assist with the day to day running of our charity shops by sorting and selling donations, keeping our shops tidy and safe, greeting and assisting customers and helping to raise awareness of the charity and what we do.

Retail volunteers create the welcoming environment of our shops serving the public, assist with processing stock including sorting, pricing and displaying stock; maintaining a clean, well displayed tidy shop and working area, operate the till and handle cash. We sell clothes, books, bric a brac, household linens, toys and electrical goods.

The shop are open Monday – Sunday 9.00am to 5.00pm

Our working day consists of two shifts;

Morning: 9.30am – 1.00pm

Afternoon: 1.00pm to 4.30pm

Most volunteers commit to one regular shift each week, however, we welcome volunteers who wish to cover more than one shift. The Shop Manager will contact volunteers if we need cover because of holidays or sickness. If you are able to help it is much appreciated but if not, it is absolutely fine.

We are looking for people from all walks of life, be it a student or young person looking to enhance their knowledge, a retired person who wants to give a little of their time and socialise with others. We’re also keen to help people looking to get in to a structured routine in preparation for their future career. Above all we are looking for people who enjoy meeting new people, who like to have fun and can engage with customers.

Our retail team have fantastic fun volunteering in a lively and active environment where you can engage with the public and really shine. You will be supporting a great cause that is integral to the local community in providing care for those with life limiting illnesses and supporting families dealing with the loss of a loved one.

You will be volunteering in a flexible environment in order to fit around your lifestyle.
