Saturday Volunteer Supervisor, assisting the shop manager in leading, managing, and developing the shop team.

What You'll Do: 

As a Saturday Lead Volunteer, you will work in leading, managing and planning for the development of the Saturday shop team. We’ll give you ongoing training and support to get you ready to open the store, lead a shift, train your team, and close the store. Best of all you’ll be raising vital funds to support people facing poverty around the world. You will need to be available to work preferably from 9am until 5 pm on Saturdays, with the option to work a half day when we have sufficient cover from other supervisors. At Oxfam, we believe in empowering you by giving you training and opportunities to learn new skills, develop old skills, and make the most out of your time with us. For this key role, you don’t need to have any leadership or retail experience – we’ve got you covered. You can also get travel costs too. Whatever you need, we’re here to help.

Why You'll Love It: 
Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you. Training to be a Lead Volunteer can take anything from a few weeks to several months – everyone goes at the pace that’s right for them. By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause. At Oxfam we know that everybody can make a real difference. People come to us for all sorts of reasons, from all backgrounds, and we will do what we can to find a role which works for you. 
What You'll Learn: 
As a Lead Volunteer you’ll make a big difference while you develop your own skills that boost your confidence. In this role, we’ll support you to: Effectively delegate responsibilities and coach individuals and teams Improve your communication skills in this customer-facing role Foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome Follow important policies around safeguarding, Health and Safety, and trading regulations Opening, closing and managing the shop in the shop manager’s absence
What We're Looking For: 
We need one reference and proof of ID for all volunteers and ask you to sign up to Oxfam's Code of Conduct. This role will require an enhanced DBS/PVG check, paid for by Oxfam. We’ll train and empower you to be a key member of our team of volunteers. You don’t need to have any leadership or retail experience – we’ve got you covered. Make a real difference to fighting poverty as part of the Oxfam Community.
