Vinnies has been giving people in need a hand up since 1865. We are a not for-profit organisation aspiring for an Australia transformed by compassion and built on justice. We delivery services to people experiencing financial hardship, homelessness and poverty.

It is through your contributions as a volunteer that these charitable works are possible. This is because revenue raised through our Retail shops is the driving force behind these works in the community- without them we simply couldn't operate as we do now. As such, they are absolutely pivotal, and therefore volunteering in this area is a very rewarding experience.

Your experience as a Vinnies volunteer will always be varied and interesting, with the opportunity with every shift to meet and engage with new people. Some of the key responsibilities of this role are:

• Greet and provide friendly service and assistance to visitors to the Shop.
• Assist in sorting, pricing and ticketing donated items.
• Create visual displays.
• Assist with general housekeeping.
• Carry out sales.

These responsibilities might change or be allocated based on the Shop Managers direction.

As a result of your involvement as a Vinnies volunteer, you can expect to:

• Make friends.
• Learn new skills.
• Have fun.
• Always be appreciated and valued.
• Be invited to several team functions throughout the year.
