Community Gift Exchange
- VO90406
How would you like to be part of a charity with a difference? ‘Reusables’ is a charity shop run by Community Gift Exchange (CGX) where we believe everyone has a gift or skill to share.
Little or no experience? All the better! CGX aims to equip people with the skills they need to go onto sustainable employment or further training (see also training details for further info). We want to help you realise your goals no matter how small or big!
We value our Volunteers so much that we offer everyone who gives their time a free hearty, home-made lunch. Past and current volunteers particularly appreciate making new friends and being part of a genuinely inclusive community.
The Reuseables shop operates on the ethos that all efforts should be made to save perfectly good items from going to waste. We would love you to be part of this effort!
What might I be expected to do in this role?
• Assisting in the day-to-day running of the CGX Charity Shop.
• Recording sales and refunds,
• Handling cash and card payments.
• Assisting customers and providing excellent customer service.
• Creating displays for visual merchandising.
• Organising and pricing of stock.
We value creativity so if you have a particular interest or passion (eg books) let us know and we can tailor the role to suit you!
CGX have conducted and implemented a Covid-secure Risk Assessment and follow government guidelines. The safety and wellbeing of our volunteers and staff is our highest priority.
