Join the friendly team at Tewkesbury, where every sale helps support patients and their loved ones. This shop is full of quality pre-loved and new items, including clothing and accessories, children’s clothes and toys – and our volunteers make it shine. Whether you’re serving customers on the shop floor or helping in the sorting room behind the scenes, you’ll play an important part in keeping the shop running smoothly, providing great customer service and helping raise funds for hospice care.

- Selling raffle tickets (when the raffle is open) to help raise funds
- Processing and recording donations according to hospice policy, helping to ensure our donated items meet our quality standards
- Keeping the shop tidy, clean and inviting.
This role could be a great fit for you, if you are:
- Friendly and approachable
- A team player, proactive and willing to learn from others
- Patient and calm under pressure (our shops can get busy!)
- Comfortable being active for several hours (breaks will be provided)
