Dressing Volunteer
Smart Works
- Work as part of a team with other dressing volunteers to make clients at Smart Works feel welcomed and comfortable during their dressing consultation. - Use the power of clothing to uplift clients by curating rails of clothing with other dressing volunteers, catered to clients’ requests and sizing. - Occasionally support the Wardrobe Team by sorting retail donations for our client wardrobe and fashion sales. - Maintain a high standard of the rails in the wardrobe.
The dressing room is where magic happens, when a client puts on an outfit that makes them feel confident and ready to take on their interview. Smart Works Dressing Volunteers work directly with clients to help them find the perfect outfit for their interview and give them the confidence they need. They support numerous clients from different backgrounds throughout their volunteer day, working with one or two other volunteers to tailor appointments to each individual client. Volunteers can attend to a wide range of exclusive events including VIP preview evenings for pop-up fashion sales, volunteer socials and access to our monthly volunteer forums and training. You will become part of the supportive and buzzing Smart Works community, consisting of 40 staff and over 300 volunteers across our three London centres. This opportunity would be perfect for anyone who has a great eye for style and wants to make a difference through using fashion as a force for good.
