The Hospice has a Superstore on the Clifton Triangle and will be opening another one in Portishead in early 2025. We're looking for people to join the volunteer team. It's a great way to meet new people, be environmentally conscious and engage with your local community. See below for further information or apply now and get going.
Our Superstores are brand-new concept stores for the Hospice. Two thirds of the stock is furniture, both second-hand and new. Shoppers will also find electricals and homeware, and the usual blend of preloved clothing, vintage treasures, and accessories that the Hospice is known for.
The Clifton Triangle Superstore is located in the old Bathstore building opposite QEH school. The Portishead Superstore will be located on Wyndham Way near Peacocks and Pets at Home.
Our Superstore volunteers get involved in a wider variety of roles than our usual shops. We'd love your help with some or all the following:
We welcome any amount of time you can give us. Some volunteers work a couple of hours a week, others might come in for 2 or 3 days. We can work with you on what time you can spare and fit volunteering around your existing commitments.
You'll be able to gain useful experience and transferable skills in retail and customer service. This looks great on CVs and UCAS forms.
We provide full training and support is always available. We pride ourselves on looking after our volunteers.
We are welcoming volunteers aged 13-17 particularly those looking to volunteer as part of their DofE award.
Volunteering is good for you. Evidence shows it's great for your mental and physical health! You'll make friends and meet lots of new people, gain confidence and self-esteem. You'll also be contributing to the 'circular economy', cutting down on landfill and encouraging Bristol to recycle.
Some of our volunteers have gained employment as a paid member of staff within our charity shops or with another employer because of the experience they've gained.
