Stock & Donation Sorter (Volunteer)
Do you love organising, tidying, or giving pre-loved items a new lease of life?
Join our amazing retail team in our Horwich charity shop and help turn generous donations into vital funds for your local children’s hospice. Volunteering with Derian House is flexible, inclusive and rewarding. If you can spare a few hours each week, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll be doing:
- Sorting through donated treasures such as clothes, books, toys and homeware
- Checking items for quality and setting aside anything that’s not quite shop-ready
- Preparing items for sale by steaming clothes, cleaning, labelling and pricing
- Keeping the sorting area clean, tidy and safe
- Working alongside our friendly team of staff and volunteers
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Like being part of a fun and supportive team
What’s in it for you?
- Be part of something that makes a real difference in your community
