Book Department Volunteer
Book Department Volunteer
Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.
Love books? We’re looking for enthusiastic people to help price, organise and display our wide range of donated books in our charity shop. Create exciting and eye-catching displays and inspire others to pick up a book. This is a flexible opportunity to share your love of books or to get a taster of a career in retail and you'll be helping the charity to continue to fund our lifesaving missions.
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or anyone with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid volunteering position in a friendly charity shop.
Typical tasks include:
- Keeping our book department fully stocked with a fresh selection of donated books
- Sorting out donations of books
- Following our guidelines to value and price donated books
- Identifying rare and collectible books for online selling
- Some lifting and carrying of books involved – remember books can be heavy!
Application deadline - Ongoing
Informal chat - After you have applied, the shop manager will contact you to arrange a time to chat about volunteering, which could also include a taster session
Start date - After your chat with the manager and once on-boarding has been completed, we will work with you to agree a start date
