Shop Volunteer - Newbury

We are currently looking for volunteers to assist with the day-to-day running of our new charity shop in Newbury.

There are a variety of roles available. Some volunteers may work on the till, while others may prefer helping upstairs with sorting, pricing, steaming, organising stock, and processing donations. Full training will be provided for all tasks, including using the till and processing card payments.

If you love animals (and don’t mind the occasional dog visiting the shop), enjoy talking with customers, and like helping people find a great bargain, we would love to hear from you.

Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining our friendly volunteer team.

About RSPCA North Wiltshire & Newbury District Branch

The North Wiltshire & Newbury District Branch is an independent branch of the RSPCA, (we are a separate charity to the National Society), raising money locally to support our animal welfare work. We're one of 152 branches in England and Wales which works with the national organisation and it's inspectorate to care for sick, injured and neglected animals. We raise money in our charity shops to assist with the running of our wildlife rescue centre Oak & Furrows in Cricklade plus offering veterinary financial support to local owners in receipt of benefits for their pets.

Oak & Furrows admits around 4000 injured and sick wildlife casualties to the centre each year for care and rehabilitation as well as providing valuable welfare funding for domestic animals in need within our branch area.

The branch is now expanding its welfare activity to start a fostering network for cats within the Swindon and Newbury area, providing cats in need with a temporary loving, home environment whilst we find their forever home.

What skills do I need?

Experience using a till or card machine is helpful but not essential, as full training will be provided. We also welcome volunteers who would prefer to help behind the scenes with tasks such as sorting, pricing, steaming clothing, organising stock, and processing donations.
