Description:

Calling all would-be fashion writers, photography buffs, treasure spotters and customer fulfilment wizards! Oxfam have several volunteer opportunities for you at our online warehouse in Wymbush, Milton Keynes, where we prepare items of quality donated clothing for sale on our online shop at www.oxfam.org.uk/shop. Available volunteer roles include:

Selection Specialists: Our selection specialists help identify the more valuable - and therefore most sellable - items from all the donations we receive. An eye for detail and for current fashion trends is useful, and knowledge of vintage items a real bonus. Full training for the role will be given.

Product Listers: Listers write short, appealing and accurate descriptions for each product we sell. This includes detailing the type, material, style and features of each item, before uploading the relevant photos so that the item is ready for sale online. Confident writing ability and good computer skills are helpful; full training for the role will be given.

Photographers: This role involves attractively arranging each item to be sold, then taking the required photos before editing the resulting images on-screen. All equipment is located on-site, and full training for the role will be given.

Dispatch Staff: Dispatch staff locate and package sold items for delivery to customers; full training for the role will be given.

By working as one of Oxfam's online volunteers, you not only get the satisfaction of helping a renowned international charity, you learn valuable job skills and get experience of working in a real commercial set-up. What's more, we offer a supportive, friendly and inclusive working environment, as well as use of a large staff room with comfortable seating, a kitchen area with fridge and microwave, and free tea and coffee.

We offer flexible working hours, Monday-Friday, 8.30-3.30, but ask a minimum of 4 hours per week, per shift.

Our site is near the routes for buses 6, 14, 30, 31, 80, 89, 301 and 606. Contact us (details below) for further info. There's also plentiful on-site parking.

** Please note that our department is located on the mezzanine level, which can be reached only by means of a staircase; please contact us (details below) if you have mobility problems. **
