Monitoring the account and responding to customer messages and enquiries.
Packaging sold items safely and storing them ready for collection.
Taking sold items to the local Post Office for dispatch.
Helping keep stock organised and ensuring listings remain up to date.

What You'll Gain

By volunteering with HARP you'll:

Gain experience in online retail and e-commerce.
Develop photography, merchandising and customer service skills.
Build confidence using online sales platforms.
Meet new people and become part of a supportive volunteer team.
Make a real difference by helping raise funds to support local people experiencing homelessness.

Skills

Basic computer skills and confidence using the internet.
Good communication and organisation skills.
An eye for quality items and presentation.
Experience using online selling platforms such as Vinted (even through a personal account) would be an advantage.
