SPCA Otago is a voluntary organisation set up by the people in the community who are interested in and want to do something about the welfare of animals. “We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves”
The Alexandra Op Shop helps to raise awareness and funds for the charity. The shop is largely manned by volunteers and overseen by an SPCA representative from the Central Otago area.
Volunteers will be placed within the Alexandra SPCA store where they play a crucial role in welcoming and assisting customers while representing the SPCA. Full role training and induction is provided.
Volunteers are required to assist with a range of roles, including:
Volunteers will receive full training in retail functions, stock turnover and security so will gain an insight into the running of a charity/retail shop. They also hope volunteers will enjoy meeting new people, being part of a committed team of volunteers and gain satisfaction from raising funds for SPCA Otago.
Previous retail experience would be useful but not essential as full training will be provided. Volunteers should be friendly, organised and trustworthy. To be able to follow instructions and chat to people from a wide range of backgrounds is important.
A Police background check is required for this role.
The shop will be open weekdays from 10am until 4pm. Individual shifts are rostered and generally work in a team of two people. Volunteers should be available for a minimum of three months.
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
