Weekend Community shop Volunteer

These are unpaid roles and application forms must be collected in person, from the 'David's Cave 3' shop in Wolverhampton (address below). We do not accept online/email applications. The application form can be completed onsite (assistance available by appointment) or taken away and returned to count as having 'applied'. You need to have the existing right to work/volunteer in the UK and be local enough to get to the shops to collect the application form. No overseas applications will be considered, although we welcome people from overseas that now live locally.

These vacancies specifically require weekend availability. Ideally, 1 weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) and one weekday, or more. 4 or 8 hour shifts available. Volunteer-run community shop providing good work experience, and we can cover some expenses.

We are a not-for-profit, volunteer-run social enterprise, raising money for various charities and good causes. A larger proportion of our income goes to charities and good causes locally than most charity shops.

We are seeking to fill a range of volunteer vacancies in both shops for various duties. All volunteers would be expected to start on the shop floor, cleaning and displaying stock, assisting customers, and stock control. There are vacancies for volunteers who would also like to assist with online sales, social media, admin, testing stock, upcycling/repurposing, and more. All vacancies are voluntary; NO-ONE IN OUR ORGANISATIONS GETS PAID.

Ideally, we are looking for volunteers to work in shifts from 10am-2pm and 1pm-5pm Mon-Sat at our Wolverhampton store (WV3 0RX). However, we may be able to be flexible with the times for the right candidate.

We can offer limited travel expenses, refreshments, and a discount scheme for volunteers able to commit 12+ hours (3 or more 4-hour shifts) per week.

To apply, please complete a simple 2-page application form (available in-store only, collect in person from David's Cave 3 CIC, 122-123 Salop Street, Wolverhampton, WV3 0RX; you can complete the application on site if you wish and have an immediate interview).

Jobcentre Plus users can also ask their advisor about our work experience opportunities.
