ABOUT US

The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia’s largest and most-loved charities, helping thousands of Australians every year find hope in the midst of all kinds of personal hardship. The Salvation Army offers the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a real difference in the lives of people who need help most.

The Salvation Thrift Shop Murray Bridge (Railway Terrace) is a vibrant place where great things happen: generous people donate amazing items, customers enjoy an ever-changing selection of goods, volunteers gain friendships and share experiences, all whilst raising much-needed funds to assist the most vulnerable in your community.

The process of selling items in store all starts with Retail Sorters. They play a key role in quality control, checking donated items and determining their suitability for sale. Nothing is sold without the Retail Sorter’s discerning eye for detail, their strong sense of order and good presentation, as well as their knowledge of designer brands and collectable items.

Key responsibilities
- Organising: Retail Sorters bring their strong sense of order and tidiness by ensuring items are ready for display. This may include steaming and hanging clothes, cleaning homewares, shoes and bags, packaging up craft, bedding and electrical items, and sorting jewellery, books and videos.
- Team Work: Work with the Retail Assistants in bringing the saleable items out to the shop floor and help customers with bringing donations to the sorting area. Bring along your

ideas, suggestions and concerns to the regular team meetings and join in on celebrations and special occasions.

Please note that this position is at The Salvation Army Thrift Shop Murray Bridge (Railway Terrace)
