Volunteering – RESTORE – Pre-owned items for sale in our shops in Cumbria

Volunteering with RESTORE - we need you!

Like all charities we rely on the incredible work of our dedicated team of volunteers. RESTORE provides opportunities for local people to volunteer and in some cases gain employment.

An opportunity for all people, particularly those with a Christian faith, but not exclusively, to provide support to their community.

An opportunity for people to engage in a range of work-related experiences on shop floors, in marketing and administration and to develop their relationship skills, especially assisting those wishing to return to work.

A safe and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, and friendships can be made.

A number of volunteers have gone on to secure paid employment, both within RESTORE and other organisations, after gaining experience and confidence whilst working with us.

No previous experience is necessary – just a love for people and a willingness to get involved. We do have an application form and have safeguarding policies in place to protect the public, staff and volunteers but applications from all areas of the community are welcomed.

Are you perhaps a student studying marketing who may like some work experience assisting with our online sales & marketing strategy?

Are you a young person (18 and above) who could help out evenings and weekends and get some valuable experience to add to your first CV?

Are you retired but still want to keep busy and active and like the idea of meeting new people ?

Are you unemployed and feeling anxious about getting back into the workplace – why not take those first steps to regaining your confidence and improve your employability

Or are you just bored or lonely and like the thought of putting something back into the community while getting out of the house

Whatever your situation, we have a vacancy perfect for you!

We are currently actively recruiting for the following vacancies:

Donation sorters & merchandisers
Internet marketing
Warehouse sorters
Premises maintenance
Recycling developer
Van driver
Shop assistants either at specific shops or flexible across all of our retail outlets

We are particularly keen to build a “pool” of volunteers who can be flexible and work across all of our various premises – reasonable travel expenses can be reimbursed
