Retail Volunteer- Cardonald

• Marie Curie

• VO93784

We're looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to help us in our Cardonald shop. Our shops are the face of Marie Curie on the high street, and an important part of how we raise the funds we need to support our patients and their loved ones.
You will be joining our amazing retail team, and helping out with all aspects of running the shop. Main tasks will include things like sorting through the donated items, pricing hanging and displaying items for sale and serving our customers on the till. If you have an eye for design you can also help us keep our window display looking lovely so that our customers want to come in for a browse.
If you like meeting new people, want to try something new or are looking to gain new skills while making a difference then this could be the opportunity for you. No experience is necessary as we will give you full training when you join us. You will also be joining a friendly and supportive team who always go the extra mile to make a difference. If you can spare 2-3 hours a week and think this sounds like the role for you then why not get in touch?

Experience required

We're looking for volunteers with a friendly and cheerful manner who can work well with others. Organisational skills and 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 essntial.

Travel details

Our Cardonald shop is located on Paisley Road West, near the bank of Scotland. To get to us from the city centre you can take bus number 9, or if you are coming from Govan you can take bus number 34. We are a 15 minute walk from Crookston Railway Station. Parking on the streets surrounding the shop may be of limited availability at busier times.
