Sorting Volunteer
Do you love organizing, tidying, or giving pre-loved items a new lease of life?
Come and join our friendly retail team at our Horwich charity shop and help turn generous donations into vital funds for local children and young people at Derian House.
About the Role
As a sorting volunteer, you’ll be behind the scenes helping us get donations ready for the shop. You’ll sort through clothes, books, toys, and homeware, check items are good enough to sell, and prepare them for the shop by steaming, cleaning, labelling, and pricing. You’ll also help keep our sorting area tidy, organized, and safe.
It’s a hands-on role where you’ll work alongside our lovely team of staff and volunteers. You don’t need previous retail experience as we’ll give you all the training and support you need.
