The program
Red Cross Shops sell new and donated clothes, accessories and homewares to raise funds to help people in need. Each year, we rescue 450 tonnes of clothing from landfill, give opportunities to over 3,500 volunteers and generate funds to help Red Cross support vulnerable people in Australia and around the world. The proceeds from the sale of items support the vital everyday work of Red Cross, providing relief in times of crisis and care where it's needed most.
The opportunity
Our Red Cross Shops are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with store operations. We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with the collection of donations from businesses and homes across Perth and regional areas and delivering donations to our local shops. This position plays an important role in helping us ensure adequate stock levels are maintained.
You will hold a valid Australian drivers license, and be able to lift and load furniture and stock boxes and bags.
A minimum commitment of just four hours per week is required to volunteer. Inductions and Driver Safe training modules will need to be completed. All Red Cross people are required to complete a Police Check, which is renewed every 5 years.
Red Cross is an inclusive organisation and welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds and experience levels. So, if you have some spare time and want to give back to your community we'd love to hear from you.
The impact
As a Red Cross Shops volunteer, you'll develop valuable retail skills while helping us raise funds to bring care and comfort where it's needed most. Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the world's largest humanitarian network.
Red Cross strives to create a safe and inclusive culture with wellbeing at its centre. We embrace diversity and welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people with different lived experience, abilities, gender, ethnicity, age and sexual orientation. We are a child safe organisation with zero tolerance of any harm to children. Our vision is to be trusted as the leading humanitarian organization making a genuine difference in the lives of people and communities.
