Cashier (Volunteer)

Our retail volunteers are in the middle of it all, and there's plenty to get involved with. We're passionate about what we do and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams ensure fighting the housing emergency never felt so fun.

Main tasks can include:

• Serving customers using our till system


• Accepting donations and signing up new Gift Aid donors


• Hanging, tagging, and steaming stock


• Visual merchandising


• Stock replenishment and culling


• Assisting the management team in the running of the shop


You might be sorting stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised.

We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences. You don't need to have volunteered or worked in a shop before as full will be provided. What's important to us is that you are a team player, open to learning, willing to follow Shelter's policies, and can be an excellent ambassador for Shelter. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of bad housing or homelessness.

To enable you to take part in this opportunity Shelter will:

• Welcome you with a Volunteer Handbook


• Provide training, induction, and ongoing support from your Shop Manager to help you feel confident in your role


• Refund any out-of-pocket expenses in line with Shelter's volunteer expenses policy
