Retail Assistant, "Restart Rummage"

We need your help! Restart is busier than ever selling donated items of household items, electrical goods and bric-a-brac and have opened a new shop called "Restart Rummage" next to our furniture showroom. This helps the planet by reusing and recycling and helps people access low cost items at a time they need it most. If you would like to be a part of our amazing local charity and have some spare time to volunteer, we would love to hear from you.
What could a volunteer gain from the experience:
Volunteering at Restart is a great way to meet new people in a busy environment. It’s an opportunity to learn new skills and gain confidence in a supportive, welcoming environment. Perhaps you have skills and knowledge to pass on to other volunteers and supported employees! Being a part of our charity can provide an amazing “feel-good” feeling – whether that’s from assisting people in times of need or from knowing we are helping our environment by actively encouraging the re-use and recycling of goods in our community. If you are looking for work, volunteering is a great addition to your CV and we can also provide a reference to prospective employers. We can assist with your next steps – we have a dedicated staff member who can help with practical areas such as CV’s, job searching, application forms, interview coaching as well as offering emotional and well-being support if required.

Experience required

A positive attitude and willingness to learn is most important. Ideally, you should like meeting people and be passionate about providing our customers with the best possible shopping experience at Restart.
