We sell a unique range of pre-loved quality items, books, clothing, gifts, and much more.

This is a great opportunity for a student, emerging marketer, content creator, or young professional who wants hands-on experience with a community-focused organisation.

What you’ll do

• Create engaging posts, photos, videos, and short-form content for social media
• Help manage and promote our Shopify store and online product listings
• Share the stories behind our products and the impact of our work
• Schedule and publish content at least twice a week
• Engage with followers, respond to comments, and help build our online community
• Research social media trends, hashtags, and content ideas
• Support campaigns designed to increase awareness, engagement, and sales
• Review basic insights and analytics to understand what content performs best
• Collaborate with our team, share ideas, and learn by doing
• Appear in front of the camera if you enjoy creating video content

What we’re looking for

You don’t need to be an expert—we’re looking for enthusiasm, creativity, and reliability. Ideally, you will have:

• A genuine interest in social media, e-commerce, and ethical or community-focused work
• Basic knowledge of platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X
• An interest in Shopify or online retail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Creativity and confidence in developing new content ideas
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently while taking direction
• A positive, collaborative attitude
• Confidence or willingness to appear on camera

Experience with Shopify, Canva, social media scheduling tools, photography, video, and analytics is a bonus, but not essential.

What you’ll gain

• Practical experience in Shopify, digital marketing, and social media
• Portfolio-ready content and campaign experience
• Opportunities to develop your creativity and professional skills
• Experience working with a purpose-led organisation
• The chance to help increase sales and create positive community impact
• Support, collaboration, and plenty of opportunities to learn
