About Dress for Success Scotland
We are a Glasgow-based charity that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing professional interview clothing, work capsule wardrobes and career support. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.

About the opportunity
We’re looking for Boutique Assistants to join our volunteer team at our Bath Street centre. You can choose the area that fits your skills and interests:

  • Styling: helping our clients choose outfits for interviews and work
  • Sorting: receiving, checking and organising donated clothing and keeping the boutique and stock room tidy
  • Admin: supporting the team with appointments, records and day-to-day office tasks
  • Outreach: helping us build relationships with partners and referral organisations, and spreading the word about our work
  • Social media: creating and scheduling posts, sharing our events and stories (with consent), photographing donations, and helping us reach new supporters, volunteers and referral partners
  • Vinted: photographing, listing, selling and posting donated items that aren’t suitable for interviews, to raise funds for our programmes

We’d ideally like a commitment of one day per week. Volunteering days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

You might have:

  • A friendly, welcoming manner
  • Good attention to detail and organisation
  • An interest in fashion, retail, admin or community work (experience isn’t essential, as we’ll show you what to do)
  • A passion for our mission and for using fashion as a force for good

Benefits of volunteering

  • Gain practical experience in your chosen area, which is great for your CV
  • Directly support women to build confidence and take their next step into work
  • Join a supportive community of volunteers and get to know a team making a real difference
