Retail Volunteer- Bearsden

We are looking for volunteers to join us in our Bearsden 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 shop is located across from the Bearsden Library and Community Hub on Drymen Road. Buses 15, 17 and 118 stop directly across from the shop at the library. Please note parking may be of limited availability at times and parking charges may apply in this area.

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

Taster

We offer new volunteers a trial shift with us, so that they can get to know a bit more about the role and find out if volunteering is right for them.

Restrictions

This opportunity is open to volunteers aged 16 and up. Volunteers below the age of 18 will need the consent of a parent or guardian.
