Come and work with us in our beautiful bookshop!

We're an Oxfam book & music shop in Clifton Village, Bristol, and we're urgently in need of new volunteers on Saturdays and Sundays. There's lots of things you could help us with, including:

- Keeping our shelves on the shop floor stocked up and looking lovely

- Behind the scenes jobs: pricing & sorting donations of books and music

- Helping to run our online selling accounts: creating sales listings for books, CDs and DVDs and doing photography

- Serving customers and working at the front counter (limited availability - get in touch for details)

...any combination of the above, and many other things! No experience necessary, all training provided. Volunteers typically do one or two 4-hour shifts per week. Shifts are 9.30 - 1.30, 1.30 - 5.30, or 12-4pm on Sundays.

Tea & biscuits are provided, we can contribute to your travel costs, and if you do a whole day (2 consecutive shifts) with us we can contribute to the cost of your lunch.

We really need people for weekend shifts - but if you can't do that, we may be able to fit you in on a weekday. Please get in touch to discuss.

Oxfam is the leading UK charity fighting global poverty. Your gift of time in our shop will have an impact around the world. Find out how here: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/oxfam-in-action/

Please get in touch by phone, email or a visit to the shop with any questions you might have about volunteering – we look forward to hearing from you!

* We are not currently accepting new applications from people aged under 18, as a shortage of volunteers means that we can't guarantee an appropriate level of supervision right now. When this situation changes, we will be able to take on new volunteers aged 14-18. If you are in this age range, one of our other Oxfam shops in Bristol will be happy to hear from you.
