Retail Volunteer- Partick

We are looking for volunteers to join us in our Partick charity shop, to help us raise funds so we can continue to support our patients and their families. This is an ideal role for someone who likes meeting new people and wants to learn new skills in a friendly and welcoming environment.
You will be helping us with the day to day running of our shop, including sorting, preparing and pricing donated items ready for display on the shop floor, serving our customers on the till and helping us spot unusual or valuable hidden gems among donations. If you have a passion for making a difference and are looking for a new challenge then this could be the role for you.

Experience required

We're looking for volunteers with a friendly and cheerful manner who can work well with others. The ability to follow instructions will be important. An interest in fashion, or a knowledge of popular and good quality brands will be useful but is not essential.

Travel details

Our Partick shop is located on Dumbarton Road, near the Morrisons Supermarket and the Partick Train Station. Please note that parking is of limited availability in the area at some times and parking charges may apply.

Travel expenses

We pay reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by our volunteers. Your volunteer manager will be able to discuss this with you and help you claim any expenses you are entitled to.

Support
Training details

We give all of our volunteers full training when they join us, as well as ongoing training and support from our friendly team in store.
