Looking for a rewarding new career? Oxfam has just the job..

If I didn’t work in the media industry I would 100% work in a charity shop. And that is the honest truth.

I mean, what is not to love? Not only are you working for a great cause, but you are also helping the circular economy. Whether it be clothes, homewares, accessories or toys, they help cut down on waste – and cut down on climate change.

A lot of people who serve you in charity shops on a daily basis are doing so of their own free will – volunteers.
