Join an amazing team!

People from all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome to volunteer across each of our BSL Stores and Brotherhood Books. Whether you’re new to retail or a seasoned professional, we’d love to hear from you.

By volunteering with the Brotherhood of St. Laurence, you'll help support the most vulnerable members of our community with a brighter future. You’ll also help us continue to raise funds for the many life-changing community programs, services and research we undertake to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia. 

 

We offer so much more than fabulous second-hand goods.

BSL Stores and Brotherhood Books are a place for community connection, where people from all walks of life visit to find friendship, support, and local resources, among an exceptional collection of pre-loved bargains. We help to create employment pathways and opportunities for personal and professional development under the guidance of our talented team leaders.

When you volunteer with us, you'll help extend the life of second-hand goods, while ensuring we can continue to deliver the delightful op shopping and online bookstore experience we are known for.

Join us in our vision for an Australia free of poverty today!

Let’s work together for an Australia free of poverty!

The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) is a social justice organisation, working alongside people experiencing disadvantage to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia.

We believe that no one should live in poverty, and that all people should be able to live a life of dignity, no matter their cultural background, circumstances or past experiences.

That’s why we offer an extensive range of programs and services that support people at every stage of life, including:

  • Early years support for children and parents
  • Youth transitioning from school and into work
  • Support for adults seeking economic security and stable employment
  • Quality care and social connection in later years as people’s needs change through time

And you can get involved!

We’re always on the look out for volunteers to help us reach more people in the community who need our support.

If you’re interested in lending your skills, we’d love to hear from you! Check out the current opportunities listed below.
