Shop Volunteer (Arnold)

Our shop volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our shops. You will provide invaluable help through the running of the shop, keeping it stocked and attractively displayed. You can get involved as much or as little as you like by sorting out stock; putting your own stamp on the shop displays or getting trained to serve customers at the till.

Being part of a huge retail team to raise funds is very motivating, you provide the best service possible by representing the to the local community and raise as much money as possible for the organisation. You even get a 25% discount on donated goods.
