Retail Assistants, Clacton

Our shop volunteers are book collectors and fashion connoisseurs. They are listeners and friends.

They know that one person's unwanted clutter is another person's treasure.

As a volunteer, you'll serve customers, sort stock and make window displays. But the role is so much more than that.

Our shops are a local hub of activity. Older people visit to browse and chat when they have no one else to talk to at home.

And while all this is happening, you'll be helping Age UK raise vital funds to make the UK a better place to grow older

What skills do I need?

What is expected of me?

In preparation for becoming a volunteer you are required to complete recruitment process which involves taking a reference. This can take up to two weeks, but is often completed much sooner.

Once you have completed the recruitment process the amount of time you give can vary from as little as an hour a week to as much as you can spare. This is due to the many ways you can help in an Age UK Shop.
