YOU'RE FUN AND INTERESTING AND WE NEED YOU AT VINNIES **MOSMAN PARK**
About this opportunity
The St Vincent de Paul Society WA - fondly known as “Vinnies” is a not-for-profit organisation aspiring for an Australia transformed by compassion and built on justice. They advocate on several pressing social justice issues such as homelessness and poverty.
It is through your contributions as a volunteer that these charitable works are possible. This is because revenue raised through our op-shops is the driving force behind these works in the community- without volunteers we simply couldn't do what we do.

- Greet and provide friendly service and assistance to visitors to the Shop.
- Assist in sorting, pricing and ticketing donated items.

These responsibilities might change or be allocated based on the Shop Manager’s direction.
As a Vinnies volunteer you should possess some key personal qualities, such as:
- A respectful and non-judgemental nature.
- The ability to demonstrate empathy.
- Being a team player.
- Having a happy, enthusiastic and helpful demeanour.
- Professional personal presentation.
