The role is varied and rewarding, combining administration, research, communication and event coordination.

Love to read? Know your classics? Up on the latest bestsellers? We are looking for people that love books - fiction or non-fiction, classic or contemporary - to help us select, research, prepare, photograph and list our eclectic stock for sale on Oxfam’s bespoke online shop. During these uncertain times Oxfam’s work to tackle global poverty is more vital (and more challenging) than ever before. Can you put your book expertise to use to help us raise money to support and empower some of the world’s most vulnerable communities?

What you can do at the shop:

· Stock selection to help us match our listings with our customers’ interests

· Researching rare and valuable books

· Photography and editing

· Creating accurate and engaging online listings

What we can offer:

Oxfam's core values are empowerment, inclusiveness and accountability, and we stand by these in all aspects of our work. When you volunteer with us you will have the opportunity to develop your skills (and enhance your CV) and bring your own ideas into the shop. You will be warmly welcomed and you will feel a sense of ownership over the work you do. We will provide full training, giving you the benefit of our experience. We provide references for our volunteers, and we believe nobody should be out of pocket to volunteer with us, so if you live outside the Cotham area we can help with reasonable travel costs. Our shop only sells online and we are not open to the public, so if are interested in gaining ecommerce experience but would value a quieter, relaxed working environment, you will love it here!

What our team have to say about working at the shop:

“Oxfam has given me my first relevant volunteering experience – I’ve learnt about a range of different items as well as how an organisation works – and it gives me a chance each week to switch my focus away from uni work!”

“You come across lots of interesting items, but it can be a thrill when you find something rare or out of the ordinary”

“I’ve been here for four years and I love it – very friendly team, very varied – dealing with high end clothing, antiquarian books, household items and much more – it’s great to find new homes for unwanted goods”

What we ask for:

· Enthusiasm for selling books online!

· A willingness to learn and to work within Oxfam's core values

· A commitment of a 3 hour shift per week for at least 3 months

· A commitment to abide by all shop health and safety processes

What your help will enable us to do:

Every pound raised in these incredibly challenging times supports Oxfam’s aim of ending extreme poverty. This income is vital to empower people to help themselves out of poverty, and, crucially, it allows us to act immediately when a disaster happens - saving lives and providing essential resources to help rebuild communities.

Can you help us raise as much as we can to continue our work this year? We won't live with poverty. If you feel the same way we would love to work with you!

Help review our health information! 

Could you help review our public health information?

We are looking for UK-based volunteers to help us make sure the information we put together is as clear and accessible as possible. 

You don't need any expert knowledge or personal experience of breast cancer – we are seeking people who can look at the information we produce and decide if it is easy to understand.

About Breast Cancer UK: 

At Breast Cancer UK we are striving for a world where everyone is empowered to reduce their breast cancer risk. Our mission is to lead a movement to empower individuals, advance scientific research, and reshape policy to reduce breast cancer risk for all. We are the only UK charity dedicated to the prevention of breast cancer by focusing on lifestyle and environmental risk factors of the disease, including diet, physical activity and exposure to harmful chemicals. 

Breast Cancer UK produces its own literature and publications on a range of breast cancer risk factors and holds the Patient Information Forum (PIF) trusted mark. We are also a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). Our purpose is to provide practical information and advice about reducing the risk of breast cancer that is evidence-based, easy to read and user-involved. 

About the Public Engagement Panel: 

The main purpose of the Public Engagement Panel is to review and feedback on key information for the Breast Cancer UK website produced by the Science and Health Education Team. You’ll help us ensure the information is easy to read, understand and use, and is inclusive so that it reflects our diverse audiences. 

Additionally, the Public Engagement Panel will provide helpful insight and suggestions on future science and education resources so we can ensure they are relevant, accessible and engaging. 

As part of the Public Engagement Panel, you will: 

1. Undertake periodic reviews of Breast Cancer UK content on chemicals, diet, lifestyle or other risk factors for breast cancer, and/or our public health information and advice leaflets. 

1. Provide feedback to help inform content and resource development to reflect the public’s needs. 

1. Be invited to participate in an annual meeting organised by Breast Cancer UK. Participants in the annual meeting will be reimbursed for reasonable economy travel costs. 

You may also be invited to help review research grant applications to provide a public perspective on the proposed projects, alongside our Science Panel.

Members of the Public Engagement Panel are expected to spend approximately 4 hours each year on Panel-related work for Breast Cancer UK (excluding our annual in-person meeting).

Membership in the Public Engagement Panel is voluntary and will have an initial fixed term of 3 years that can be extended by up to another 3 years. 

About you: 

You don't need any experience reviewing health information, expert knowledge or personal experience of breast cancer.

To be eligible to be on the panel, you should not hold a science qualification higher than GCSE level or equivalent. This helps to provide insights from people who do not have a specialist background. If you are not sure whether this applies to you, just get in touch. 

You will need to have at least an intermediate level of English proficiency. 

To apply for this role please use the link to our webpage and application form. 

The closing date for applications is Friday 4th September. However, we are reviewing applications for this role on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close recruitment early if all panel member positions are filled before the deadline. We therefore encourage interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. We aim to contact you on the outcome within a fortnight of application. 

Breast Cancer UK is committed to being a caring and welcoming place, where all volunteers and employees feel like they belong. Our vision is to create a supportive and inclusive culture where our volunteers and employees can reach their full potential, without prejudice and discrimination. We are committed to a culture where respect and understanding is fostered and the diversity of people's backgrounds and circumstances are positively valued. 

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and abilities. 

It is important to us that our Public Engagement Panel reflects the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve, enabling us to hear a wide range of voices, experiences and perspectives. 

Following a recent review of the Panel's composition, we have identified some groups that are currently under-represented. We would therefore particularly welcome applications from people aged 25–45, people from Black African, Black Caribbean and other Black backgrounds, men, and people who identify as LGBTQIA+. 

Selection will be based on the skills, experience, perspectives and qualities required for the role, and we encourage anyone who feels they can make a valuable contribution to apply. 

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND BUILD THE DIGITAL SYSTEMS THAT POWER OUR MISSION

We’re ideally seeking volunteers based in London, but we welcome passionate people from across England who can join virtually and help shape the future of a charity with huge potential.

We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health, stronger resilience and long‑term personal growth.

We’re building a stigma‑free movement — a space where men and boys can learn real, practical, non‑clinical skills that help them build better habits, better mindsets and better lives. From 1:1 Life Coaching, to 6‑ and 12‑week self‑improvement programmes, to school workshops for teenage boys, we’re creating something powerful.

And right now, we’re getting ready to launch — and we need an IT & Digital Systems Coordinator who can build the digital infrastructure that keeps MINDSET running safely, smoothly and professionally.

YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE

Joining MINDSET at this early stage means you’re not just “doing IT” — you’re building the systems that will support every volunteer, every programme and every young person or man we help.

Your leadership will directly influence:

• how strong and secure our digital foundation becomes;

• how effectively we track impact, case notes and programme outcomes;

• how smoothly volunteers can work across our platforms;

• how safe and protected our data and devices remain;

This is your chance to help build a charity from the ground up — shaping its digital infrastructure, its security and its future.

THE ROLE: IT & DIGITAL SYSTEMS COORDINATOR (VOLUNTEER)

1. A systems‑builder.
2. A problem‑solver.
3. A guardian of security and digital excellence.

As our IT & Digital Systems Coordinator, you’ll research, create and set up the free digital tools that power MINDSET — from cloud‑based CRMs and case‑note systems to impact‑tracking platforms and volunteer management tools.

You’ll configure our Office 365, emails and SharePoint so they’re secure, organised and built for charity use. You’ll lock down our devices — laptops, tablets and phones — so they’re protected, purpose‑built and safe for storing sensitive data.

This role is perfect for someone who loves tech, enjoys problem‑solving and wants to help build a charity from the ground up.

WHAT YOU’LL HELP US BUILD

1. Digital Systems & Infrastructure

• Researching and setting up free cloud‑based CRM platforms.

• Creating case‑note recording systems to track impact.

• Building digital workflows that support volunteers and programmes.

• Ensuring systems are simple, secure and fit for purpose.

• Configuring Office 365 for charity use.

• Setting up secure email accounts and access levels.

• Building a structured, safe SharePoint Drive.

• Ensuring everything is compliant, organised and easy to use.

3. Device Configuration & Security

• Setting up laptops, tablets and phones for MINDSET use only.

• Locking devices so they cannot be used for other purposes.

• Ensuring all data is encrypted, protected and secure.

• Implementing best‑practice security measures.

4. Digital Support & Volunteer Enablement

• Helping volunteers navigate systems with confidence.

• Troubleshooting issues and keeping everything running smoothly.

• Creating simple guides, walkthroughs and support materials.

• Making sure every volunteer feels supported and capable.

5. Building a Strong Digital Foundation

• Creating systems future teams can rely on.

• Supporting risk management and data protection.

• Helping MINDSET grow safely, professionally and sustainably.

WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE

We’re especially interested in people who:

• have experience with IT systems, cloud platforms or digital tools;

• enjoy researching, testing and building new digital solutions;

• understand data security, device protection and good digital practice;

• bring clarity, structure and problem‑solving skills;

• care deeply about men’s mental health, wellbeing and personal growth;

• want to help build a charity from scratch;

• enjoy empowering volunteers through simple, effective systems.

If you’re someone who loves building systems, solving problems and creating digital foundations — this is your moment.
