Shop Volunteer, SAVE CHILDREN

Join to apply for the Shop Volunteer role at SAVE THE CHILDREN in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Here’s 5 reasons you’ll love to volunteer in our shops:

• It’s fun
• It’s flexible
• You’ll learn and share skills
• You’ll be making a difference
• You’ll work with a great team

We’re passionate about what we do, and love giving second‑hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams are key to raising vital funds for our work and act as incredible advocates for the rights of children both in the UK and around the world.

You might be sorting and pricing stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised. The amount of time you commit is up to you – volunteers work a few hours per week or more, and you can choose a morning or an afternoon shift.

• No prior retail or shop experience required – full training is provided.
• A team player who is open to learning and follows our policies.
• An excellent representative for SAVE THE CHILDREN.
• Inclusive attitudes – we welcome people from all backgrounds and will find a role that works for you.

After you’ve filled in an application, we will invite you for an informal trial shift. The trial gives you a chance to visit the shop, meet existing volunteers and try out the tasks you would support. We also ask for a couple of references – these don’t have to be formal workplace ones, just someone who has known you for over six months and isn’t related.

Please note that this is a voluntary, unpaid role, based in the UK. We are unfortunately not able to provide support with visa requests, and candidates must be over 18.
