The program

Red Cross Shops sell new and donated clothes, accessories and homewares to raise funds to help people in need. Each year, we rescue 450 tonnes of clothing from landfill, give opportunities to 5000 volunteers, and generate funds to help Red Cross support vulnerable people in Australia and around the world. The proceeds from the sale of items support the vital everyday work of Red Cross, providing relief in times of crisis and care where it's needed most.

The opportunity

Our Albany Red Cross shop is looking for enthusiastic shop volunteers with a passion for sustainability and preloved clothing to assist with customer service and store operations.

By joining the team you’ll get the opportunity to:  

• Sort, tag and prepare donations for sale
• Provide support to customers, volunteers and staff
• Express creativity and contribute to sustainable fashion
• Be part of a team, contributing towards the operational work of Red Cross
• Gain valuable experience and training in retail operations and customer service
• Receive team member discounts on new and preloved products
• A minimum commitment of four hours a week is required to volunteer. Previous experience in retail customer service and preloved fashion is desirable.

Red Cross is an inclusive organisation and welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, so if you have some spare time and want to give back to your community we’d love to hear from you. Standing and manual handling up to 10 kg will be required.

The impact

As a Red Cross Shop volunteer, you’ll develop valuable retail skills while helping us raise funds to bring care and comfort where it’s needed most. Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the world’s largest humanitarian network.

Red Cross strives to create a safe and inclusive culture with wellbeing at its centre. We embrace diversity and welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people with different lived experiences, abilities, gender, ethnicity, age, and sexual orientation. We are a child safe organisation with zero tolerance of any harm to children. Our vision is to be trusted as the leading humanitarian organisation making a genuine difference in the lives of people and communities.
