Short term arrangement as required Weekdays/weekends Why choose to participate in Work Experience with Red Cross? Australian Red Cross recognises that work experience gives students the opportunity to gain specific skills and insight into the industry and workplace they are located in. Students will be able to learn and observe how Australian Red Cross Retail shops operate. The program Red Cross Shops sell new and donated clothes, accessories and homewares to raise funds to help people in need. Each year, we rescue 2750 tonnes of clothing from landfill, give opportunities to 5000 volunteers, and generate funds to help Red Cross support vulnerable people in Australia and around the world. The proceeds from the sale of items support the vital everyday work of Red Cross, providing relief in times of crisis and care where it's needed most.
