Based in a beautiful part of London, just 2 minutes walk from Hyde Park, and close to the V and A and the Natural History Museum, the Gloucester Road Oxfam shop is one of the busiest shops in London. Our aim is to fight poverty all around the world by raising as much money as possible by selling the items, which are donated to us.
Women’s Fashion Specialist volunteer will help us to increase Oxfam’s sales by sorting, pricing and displaying our great donations of clothing using your knowledge of fashion and provide a high standard of customer service.
You will:
- Sorting donations of women’s clothes given to us to determine which items will sell well.
- Pricing the items
- Researching rare and/or expensive items of women’s clothes in order to price them accurately.
- Using your own knowledge of fashion in order to create window displays attracting potential customers
- Providing polite and friendly service to the customers to increase their satisfaction and make them come back to Oxfam
