- Opportunities to develop your retail skills further out at events like Charity Supermarket and pop-up shops
What Our Volunteers Say:
“Shelter was one of the first physical places where I felt I could fully be myself."
“Genuinely the highlight of my week. Feel like I’m part of something bigger.”
“Helping in the shop gives me satisfaction and gives me a place to go if feeling lonely and down.”
Next Steps: Please complete an application form online. After you have applied, we will review your application and invite successful candidates to attend a recruitment conversation.
