Shop Volunteer - London (Portobello Road)

What will I be doing?

• Serving customers, taking  payments  and providing good all-round customer service.
• Sorting through donated items and pricing stock .
• Working on window and shop displays .
• Keeping the shop tidy, clean and well organised .
• Interacting with the general public .
• Following new health, safety and social distancing measures .

What impact will this have?

• Every volunteer hour  you  donate means we can sell 6 items and make £20 of income. So, if you volunteer for a 7-hour day, this can generate £140. That means that every day you volunteer, you’ll be raising more funds to beat cancer.  .
• You’ll gain important skills that are hugely valued in the workplace such as teamwork, communication and using your initiative. . You can boost your CV by working towards an NVQ in Retail with Derby College,  and  we'll provide you with a reference. .
• It will allow you to get involved in your local community and to meet new friends. .
• Our friendly  CRUK  team will be there to support you all the way – offering guidance and helping you build your confidence. . It’s fun – you’ll gain real satisfaction from volunteering alongside our warm, friendly shop volunteers who will make you feel right at home.

Commitment

What else do I need to know?
