Jewish Care Scotland is looking for organised members of the community to support us with our online sales by listing and selling a range of donated items on various online marketplace platforms. This will help us raise additional funds to provide care and support to the Jewish community, and to recycle and reuse pre-loved items.
This voluntary role will play a key role in sorting through donated items, or items we no longer need, identifying if anything would be suitable to be redistributed to the community through local sales or ‘bartering’ pages on Facebook etc. Maybe you already know your way around online selling platforms or maybe it’s something you want to find out more about, either way you will be supported in this role to make sure you develop the skills and experience needed to become an expert online lister. Volunteers will be guided by the our Senior Support Worker and Communications Officer.
For more information or for an informal discussion, please contact Jean by emailing jeang@jcarescot.org.uk or call 0141 620 1800.
