Volunteer Retail Assistant - Surry Hills and Sydney CBD - # 245479

The Salvation Army Stores are vibrant places where great things happen: generous people donate amazing items, customers enjoy an ever-changing selection of goods, volunteers gain friendships and share experiences, all whilst raising much-needed funds to assist the most vulnerable in your community.

Retail Assistants have a wide-ranging role, supporting the Store Manager in ensuring quality customer service carrying out transactions, maintaining the appearance of the store and assisting customers, sorting and pricing items for sale.

Experience in retail, sales and customer service preferred but not mandatory as volunteers are always supported with on the job training and a vibrant, safe team environment.

The impact of this role: Volunteers are essential to Sydney City Salvos, we cannot deliver the services we do to people sleeping rough and facing challenges of isolation and economic hardship. The 3 shops we run contribute significantly to the costs of running our drop-in centres and programs, and volunteers are central to the success of those shops.

Retail Assistants play a key role in fostering a culture of inclusiveness and community spirit amongst the team and wider community.

As a valued volunteer of The Salvation Army, there are a number of great benefits you can access.
