At Oxfam, we’re not just selling pre‑loved items and unique finds – we’re working together to build a radically better world. With your help, we will turn pre‑loved treasures into resources that empower communities worldwide.
What happens next
After you apply, the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you’d like to do in the shop. From there, you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!

- Selecting, sorting, and pricing donated stock.
- Chatting to customers, giving great customer service.
- Visual merchandising: creating eye‑catching window and in‑store displays.
- Photographing items for the online shop.
- This role may include occasionally lifting boxes. We prioritise a safe working environment and provide comprehensive health and safety training to all volunteers.
The skills you need
- Reliable and on time for volunteering.
- No prior experience required; full training and support is given.
- Happy to be part of a team and collaborate effectively with others.
What’s in it for you
- Some lunch and travel costs paid (speak to the Manager first to understand what is covered).
- Access to training and development.
- Grow your confidence and meet new people.
- Flexible volunteering schedules that fit your education and other commitments.
- Possible references for future employers.
Disclaimer
- We warmly welcome everyone to apply and are dedicated to creating an inclusive and diverse environment. If you have any particular needs, please talk to the Manager, and we can consider possible adjustments.
- We conduct ID checks for all volunteers and require one reference upon application. If you have any difficulties providing a reference, please speak to a manager for assistance.
- Parental/Guardian Consent will be required as part of the application process. Some Local Authorities may also require a Child Work Permit for volunteering activity, and this may cause a delay to processing your application. Please discuss this with the Manager as they can provide further guidance.
