We Won't Live With Poverty
ABOUT US: 

Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

Since Oxfam first started in 1942 we have challenged the underlying causes of poverty, while supporting people to cope when disaster strikes. These principles are just as relevant today, but global challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate emergency need us to keep evolving to reflect the threats and opportunities of today’s world.

OUR VALUES: 
Empowerment – We all lead from where we sit Our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability – We do what we say we will Our purpose-driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable. We believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness – We are Diverse We are open to everyone and embrace diversity. We believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
THINGS WE ARE PROUD OF: 
As we strive to achieve Oxfam’s goals to end poverty, we try and lead by example in demonstrating the same values that we wish to see in the people we work with and those we aim to influence.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN OUR PEOPLE: 

• Commitment to Oxfam’s values of empowerment, accountability, and inclusiveness. • Ability to work within Oxfam’s policies and shop guidelines. • An interest in retail and customer service. • Ability to work well as part of a team and under own initiative. • Willingness to learn.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT: 

Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. We respond fast in emergencies, work on long-term projects with communities and campaign for genuine, lasting change. Our volunteers, staff, and those we aim to influence are all guided by our values of empowerment, accountability, and inclusiveness. Through the sales of donated goods our shops raise millions of pounds each year to fund our crucial work to end the injustice of poverty.
