Charity Shop Sales Assistant Volunteer Opportunity No. VO101836 - Created/last updated: 15/11/2024 | ![]() Opportunity |
About this opportunity: | Volunteer at your Local One-Of-A-Kind Oxfam Shop! Could you help sprinkle a little festive sparkle in our shops this Christmas? From wintery window dressing, to helping people source the perfect gift or party outfit, we've got an opportunity to suit you. Join us today! Oxfam shop volunteers make a real impact every day and help our work for a kinder and radically better world, without poverty. People become Oxfam shop volunteers for all sorts of reasons. But there's one thing that unites them: they're one-of-a-kind. What will you be doing? Sort through donations or sift for gold. Research, price and fill your section on the shop floor. Plan and put together a window display or change the whole shop layout! Do you know how to take, upload and edit photos? That's all you need to be listing items for sale on the Oxfam Online Shop. We'll let you know what items you've sold! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
