E-Commerce Shop Volunteer (Worksop Shop)
Our E-Commerce volunteers raise money for the people we support with a Learning Disability. Do you have a few hours a week to spare and share your time with us?
Our E-commerce roles are varied and fun. You could be sorting donations from the public, photographing stock to go online or packing up orders ready to be posted out. There are many people from different walks of life and it's a great way to get practical experience and to meet new people.
This role will take place on a weekly basis for a few hours. We will try our best to be flexible around the best time for you, but also need to consider the base opening times and volunteer rota. It could be a weekday or weekend, morning or afternoon, our stores are usually open 7 days a week. We’d appreciate any time that you can spare.
