Job description

 
Big Issue Oxford is looking for a community‑minded volunteer to support our vendors and help deliver a new weekly community information sheet in Summertown. We’re looking for someone friendly, organised and comfortable using digital tools (email, apps, social media).

Ideally 1–2 days a week.

Expenses covered.

A rewarding way to strengthen community connections and support local people. 

About the Role 

We are seeking a locally‑based volunteer who is passionate about community connection, social inclusion and supporting Big Issue vendors to thrive. This role combines hands‑on support in our Oxford office with community engagement work in Summertown through our new partnership with Neya to build better connections between people living and work in the local area. 

The volunteer will support the distribution of the weekly "Local Issue” to help curate local content, and work alongside vendors distributing it at their pitch. They will also play an active part in office operations, supporting vendors, the sales desk, and our outreach activities. 

This is a great opportunity for someone who knows and loves their local area, enjoys meeting people, and wants to help strengthen community connections.
