Retail Online Sales Volunteer

Age UK North Worcestershire

Description of the role

A new and exciting volunteer opportunity has arisen within our Retail Team based at our High Street Charity Shop (Bromsgrove)

If you enjoy selling online and have a keen eye for spotting something unique, then you could help support the development of our Online Sales & Distribution Centre located at our Bromsgrove store, helping raise valuable funds to support our local work providing support and services for older people aged 50+ living in North Worcestershire

Purpose of Role:
As an Online Sales Volunteer you will be providing invaluable support for the operation of our Online Sales & Distribution Hub. There are a range of different ways you can get involved including;

  • Sorting donations
  • Taking photographs of donated items
  • Support researching items, entering and uploading products online
  • Preparing orders for collection or posting
  • Responding to enquiries (both by telephone and online)

This role might be right for you if you:

  • Are happy to participate as part of a team and can work independently
  • Have an interest in online retailing, retail trends and/ or social media
  • Are able to commit your time for at least three hours a week
  • Associate with Age UK Bromsgrove, Redditch & Wyre Forest’s values and mission

Practical Considerations

We will make sure that you receive appropriate training for the role and that you have the support of a member of staff. We will also cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses for volunteers but ideally we are seeking people that are local to the High Street Shop.

Any specific requirements

  • Must be 18 or over to apply.

Where is the opportunity based?

Age UK BRWF, 140 High Street, Bromsgrove, B61 8ES

When is the opportunity available?

Opportunity is available now and we operate Monday – Friday, 9.30am-4.30pm.
