Retail Volunteers needed at Fernvale on Thursday & Fridays!

St Vincent De Paul Society Queensland
Logo for St Vincent De Paul Society Queensland

Volunteer with Vinnies to make a difference for those in need. For some Vinnies volunteers, this is a chance to give something back to the community, to use their skills and experience to make a difference in the lives of people who need assistance the most. For others, it is a chance to develop new skills, experience and meet like minded people in a supportive environment.

As a retail volunteer, you will play a central role in the operations of the shop, making a significant and valuable contribution to the St Vincent de Paul Society. Many of our stores trade 7 days a week, so as little as 4 hours a week could make a huge impact. Our retail volunteers perform a variety of tasks including:

  • Providing customer with an excellent shopping experience
  • Sorting and pricing donations
  • Assisting with product displays
  • Processing sales through the point-of-sale cash register
  • Keeping the store and sorting area tidy, whilst maintaining safe work practices.

The volunteers we are seeking for this new role will ideally:

  • Demonstrate a friendly, positive attitude, with a willingness to learn and to be part of a team
  • Must be willing to work Thursdays and/or Fridays only
  • Demonstrate genuine respect for all people regardless of their situation
  • Be respectful to others and flexible in their attitude to work and be a part of a team
  • Have an understanding of and commitment to the philosophy of the St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland and an ability to work in accordance with policies and procedures to promote the values and mission of the Society.

Volunteers do not require previous experience as valuable on-the-job training is provided.
