If you like to keep active and stay in shape, volunteering in one of our local furniture store warehouses could be the answer you're looking for.
We need helpful and active people to help keep our stock moving from the van to warehouse and onto the store and from store back to the van for delivery!
This role involves keeping active but it's not just moving furniture. There are other opportunities to help our warehouse team such as booking in and checking over stock for sale, putting together our flat packed furniture and testing electrical items.
Say hello to the team
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Last year our British Heart Foundation UK charity shops across the UK raised an incredible 28 million - this wouldn't have been possible without our fantastic volunteers.
Our team is bright and bubbly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.
Typical tasks include:
- Ensuring the warehouse is always kept clean and tidy
- Moving stock by manual operation
- Sorting and unpacking deliveries and assisting in conjunction with British Heart Foundation values
- Identifying poor quality donations for recycling
- Sorting and processing donated goods, this is mainly grading stock in order of quality
- Replenish sold furniture on the shop floor
- Acting as an ambassador for British Heart Foundation always
