Our shop roles
We have a variety of volunteer roles in our shops. If you would be interested in signing up for one of our volunteering roles then please email us at volunteersvoice@childrenssociety.org.uk, or call our supporter action team on 0845 300 1128.
Stock selection and preparation. If you've got an eye for fashion, quality and style, you could help turn bags of unwanted items into a shop full of desirable clothes and household items.
Customer service. If you're friendly and like meeting people you could be just the person we need to serve customers and help them find what they're looking for.
Window dresser. If you have an interest in fashion and a creative eye you could use your skills to entice customers into the shop by making sure the window display looks fantastic.
Merchandiser. Help keep our shops brimming with high quality, stylish items, arranged attractively, to persuade customers to part with their money!
Volunteer shop manager. Some volunteers want a bit more responsibility and enjoy running a shop and motivating their team. If you're good at planning and get on well with a wide range of people this could be the role for you.
Book specialist. If you love books you could use your passion to sort, price and maintain our book section, selecting books in good condition and arranging them to help customers find what they are looking for.
Collectibles specialist. If you know your Wade from your Wedgwood you could help us make the most of our treasures. We always need people with an interest in collectibles, antiques and retro items.
Entertainment specialist. You know who you are! In a quiz you can answer all the questions on rock, pop, TV and movie trivia. We need you to look after our CD, vinyl, video and DVD shelves.
Administration/finance assistant. If you like paperwork you could help the shop manager with the post, forms, reports, rotas and planning. This is a vital role to ensure the shop runs efficiently.
Electrical tester. If you're an electrician, or know the basics and are happy to do a short course, you could make it possible for one of our shops to raise more money selling small portable electrical appliances such as CD players, table lamps and hair straighteners.
Stock collector. We can never have too much stuff! Can you persuade people and groups to donate more or arrange a special collection? To do this you just need to be confident and friendly.
Other specialists. If you have a passion and think we could make money from it, get in touch - retro, jewellery, hobbies, crafts, collections, local interest, anything!
