Shop Volunteer (Stock Assistant - Taunton)

Shop Volunteer (Stock Assistant - Taunton)

Your local British Red Cross shop has a variety of activities available for volunteers to support us in. From sorting stock & 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 Stock Assistant volunteers to help us in our shop.

If you have a few hours a week to spare on a regular basis and prefer to make a difference from behind the scenes, this may be the opportunity for you.

Responsibilities

• Checking the quality of items donated and preparing them for sale or recycling
• Replenishing stock on the shop floor
• Ironing, cleaning, labelling and helping to price items ready for sale
• 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.

When can I volunteer?

A few hours during the week or weekend, as agreed with the shop manager. There is no minimum commitment or fixed hours; we only ask that we agree on hours you are confident you can attend and that you let us know where these hours may change.

Diversity & Inclusion

We celebrate diversity and want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, promote kindness, and ensure volunteers are not out of pocket for expenses linked to their role. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. Volunteering is accessible to everyone.

Health & Safety Statement

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 host 15-17 year olds; please get in touch so that we can help you find a suitable volunteering opportunity.
