​CANDIDATES CAN APPLY VIA OUR WEBSITE

We are currently recruiting volunteers for our lovely shop in Pershore, Worcs

Ideally you'll be available for at least 4 hours per week (it doesn't need to be the same four hours each week) and enjoy working as part of a friendly, inclusive team.

No special knowledge is needed - all training is given.

You will be contributing hugely to Oxfam's work - we estimate that on average a shift in one of our shops will raise enough for Oxfam to provide handwashing facilities for over 80 people living without sanitation during a pandemic.

We welcome volunteers over 14, but at the moment we have many of our existing adult volunteers still sheltering, so we particularly welcome anyone over the age of 18. It doesn't need to be a long term offer - short term help is always a real boost too.

You'll undoubtedly make new friends, gain skills and be able to put existing skills to great use, but you'll also make a real difference to people's lives. 

We'd love to have you join our team in the fight against Global Poverty and Inequality - apply below or pop into our Pershore shop and mention this ad. Thank you!
