Port Melbourne Shop

A unique new Op Shop is coming to Port Melbourne! From quality preloved fashion to quirky homewares our shop in bustling Bay Street is full of treasures to be found. Uniting Op Shops provide affordable clothing and homeware items in a welcoming and inclusive environment, while providing an essential role in funding Uniting’s program delivery.

 

Our aim is to delight customers in a meaningful and memorable way in a contemporary retail environment that is positive, creative, inclusive and fun! From creating a vibrant and dynamic space using imaginative displays of quality donations, to serving and assisting customers, working behind the scenes with sorting and tagging stock or participating in fashion events, the Port Melbourne shop is unique. Why not add your talents to the team?

 

Volunteers are at the heart of our organisation and a crucial part of our shops. We are flexible and work to accommodate busy volunteers. Ideally, you'll be available 1 – 3 days per week for full day or half day shifts. If you like fashion, people, customer service, merchandising, have an interest in the environment and learning new skills - any or all the above! – then this opportunity is for you. We look forward to getting to know you and welcoming you to our team! All activities are Centrelink approved.

 

Let's work together to encourage and educate the community to shop smarter, buy better and upcycle or reuse unwanted goods. By volunteering at our shop, you can play a vital role in the circular economy. 20 items of general clothing upcycled will save 278.00 kg of CO2 Emissions. Imagine what you can contribute in a 4-hour shift working at our Op Shop! We can do this and make an impact for future generations.

 

If volunteering with us will put a smile on yourself and give you a sense of achievement, then we want to talk to you. Want to know more? Pop into a local Uniting Op Shop or email opshops@uniting.vt.org
