Ecommerce Volunteer (Goodramgate York)

Help turn great items into great sales

At Oxfam, every donated item has the potential to create change. As an Online Shop Volunteer, you'll volunteer in your shop or hub helping us turn pre-loved treasures into vital funds that support communities around the world, from responding to emergencies to tackling poverty and inequality.

Whether you're researching items, creating listings, photographing products, selecting stock or helping prepare orders, your contribution helps connect unique finds with new owners and supports Oxfam's life-changing work.

Here's why volunteering with Oxfam is right for you:

Be a Second-hand Superhero

Help transform donated items into online sales that raise money for Oxfam's work around the world. Every item you help process, photograph, list or dispatch can make a real difference.

Increase Your Skills

Build valuable experience in areas such as e-commerce, retail, photography, product research, administration, teamwork and customer service - skills that can strengthen your CV and boost your confidence.

Find Your Community

Join a welcoming team of volunteers and staff who share your commitment to creating positive change and making the most of every donation.

Flexibility

We know life is busy, so we offer flexible volunteering opportunities. Whether you can give a few hours a week or more, your time will make a real impact.

A Role That Works for You

Online Shop volunteering offers a range of activities to suit different interests and strengths. You might enjoy researching interesting products, writing listings, taking photographs, organising stock, packing orders, or supporting day-to-day operations behind the scenes.

Whether you enjoy creative tasks, problem-solving, working independently, or being part of a team, we'll help you find a role that matches your interests, skills and confidence.

Oxfam isn't just another charity shop. We're a movement of people working together for a fairer world, and we'd love you to be part of it.
