Purpose of Role:
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. We need helpful and active people to help keep our stock moving from the van to the warehouse and onto the store and from the store back to the van for delivery.

Typical tasks include:
• Ensuring the warehouse is always kept clean and tidy
• Lifting and carrying a range of furniture items
• Lifting and shifting deliveries alongside the Warehouse Supervisor
• Identifying poor quality donations for recycling
• Sorting and processing donated goods; this is mainly grading stock in order of quality alongside the Warehouse Supervisor
• Replenishing sold furniture on the shop floor
You get a lot from volunteering with us too:
• A chance to work in a friendly team, to make new friends and meet a diverse group of people
• The opportunity to make an invaluable contribution to the British Heart Foundation goal of beating heartbreak forever
• The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
• The ability to gain valuable work experience to add onto your CV and to learn new skills
• Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle
• The chance to gain valuable retail and warehousing experience
