JOIN US IN CHANGING LIVES…

Vinnies Mt Barker is a BEAUTIFUL, STYLISH shop with a WELCOMING team in the picturesque Adelaide Hills. Would you like to join our team?

Vinnies shop volunteers do a variety of work. This is mainly a FRONT OF HOUSE role.

  • The ability to work well in a TEAM environment.
  • A FRIENDLY and compassionate personality.

You need an ability to listen and respond with courtesy, to maintain confidences and respect the privacy of those we encounter; and be sensitive to the values of people of other faiths, cultures and lifestyles.
