Shop Assistant

Volunteer positions are available at all our shops. By volunteering for us, you can help create a better future for cancer patients in Wales.

At Cancer Research Wales, we are always looking for volunteers to work in our shops. We pride ourselves on being one big team, but with time for everyone. We hope our personal touch makes volunteering extra special.

By choosing to volunteer for Cancer Research Wales, you will play a part in uniting Wales against cancer. Your support will help make a huge difference to thousands of people each and everyday by helping us to raise funds towards world-class research.

What does the role involve?

There are all sorts of things you can do to get involved in our shops either working behind the scenes or liaising with the public. This includes:

  • Working on the tills
  • Stock management
  • Communicating with customers
  • Sorting and organising donations
  • Visual merchandising or window display (desirable but not essential)

How much time do I need to give?

We like to be flexible with our volunteers. This role would be best suited to someone who can commit to a minimum of one day a week; however, we can be flexible on days or hours split across a few days if you prefer - there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer from as little as 2 to 4 hours per week.

What else do I need to know?

We welcome everybody into the team, and our team treat all their fellow colleagues, customers and donors with respect and kindness. If you have any other questions, please let us know. 

Volunteers must be aged 16 or over

We are the Welsh cancer research charity. Help us fund world class research in Wales.

Every week in Wales, 175 families lose a loved one to cancer. We are working to make sure that the people of Wales don't have to accept cancer as a life-threatening disease. But we need your support. Donate today and help bring better treatments closer to home for patients across Wales.
