Oxfam's Wetherby Shop is looking for Shop Volunteers to help Oxfam’s fight to support the world’s most vulnerable communities.
We’re looking for volunteers who can give 4-8 hours (or more!) of their time in the shop each week, and we’re excited to welcome brand new volunteers to our stores!
Right now, we're looking for people to help in the shop in our stock room and with our ecommerce/online department!

Become a volunteer!
We like to give volunteers an opportunity to try a range of areas before they find something that suits them. You might become a Retail Volunteer, Till Volunteer, Stock Volunteer. Or you might find yourself in a more specialist role such as an Ecommerce Volunteer, a Shift Lead Volunteer, or even a Stock Specialist Volunteer.
Whatever your skills or interests, there’s something for everyone…
Why be a volunteer?
Your time will make a huge difference. We estimate one four-hour shift will, on average, provide enough income to enable Oxfam to provide life-saving handwashing facilities for 81 people.
Volunteering also has a positive impact on wellbeing, with an incredible 7 in 10 volunteers saying that their charitable actions were beneficial for their mental health.
Benefits of becoming a Volunteer:
· Gain genuine experience working in a retail environment.
· Volunteering can help you learn new skills, gain experience, and develop your CV.
· Great way to meet new people & be part of a community. Volunteering can help you feel part of something outside your friends and family.
· Be part of a fantastic team and make a positive change to the world.
· Opportunity to utilise and develop your transferable skills.
Volunteering with Oxfam will give you the skills, confidence and experience you need to build your CV and boost your employability. Problem solving, communication, working with others and familiarity with the workplace are universally valued by employers.
No experience is necessary as full training, and an induction will be given. You don't need to be computer literate to join our team; there are volunteer opportunities for all. All we ask is that you’re happy to work as part of a diverse and inclusive team.
We can be flexible around parenting, caring, health, employment, education, and any other commitments you have.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Do you have accountancy or finance skills and experience that you could use to support a charity? Would you like to help make sure people have the right information and support to make informed decisions about their health, wellbeing and care?
Patient Information Forum is looking for a new Trustee with finance skills to join our Board. You could play an important role in shaping our future and strengthening our work.
WHO IS PATIENT INFORMATION FORUM?
The Patient Information Forum (PIF) is the membership body for people working in health information and support. We are the independent voice of UK health information. PIF runs the only quality mark for print and digital health information – the PIF TICK.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Access for everyone to personalised health information and support so that people feel enabled to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
We believe high-quality information is key to reducing inequalities in health literacy, and we are strongly committed to inclusion. We also tackle misinformation, helping people to recognise trusted, credible sources and tell them apart from misleading or false information.
IF YOU JOIN US…
You'll play an important role in overseeing PIF’s financial health and ensuring that the Board and senior team can make informed, responsible decisions.
The Treasurer’s role is to provide financial leadership and oversight for the charity. This includes reviewing, approving, and presenting budgets, accounts, and financial statements, as well as preparing and delivering clear financial reports to the Board.
You’ll have the opportunity to work with a team of fellow Trustees who bring a wide range of professional experience.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for individuals with an accountancy qualification or equivalent finance knowledge gained by experience. You’ll have high levels of integrity and an eye for detail.
Previous trustee experience isn’t required, and you will be supported into the role through an onboarding and induction process.
We are particularly seeking someone to:
○ guide and advise the Board on the approval of budgets and annual accounts within current legislation
○ keep the Board informed of its statutory financial duties and responsibilities
○ commit to PIF’s, vision and goals. Honesty, integrity, and a commitment to transparency.
Please make sure you read our Candidate Information Pack before applying. It contains important details about the role and our organisation.
