Are you someone who would like to keep fit, but also wants to help save the planet and raise funds to save lives from heart disease? Volunteering in our furniture store warehouse in Brislington could be the answer!

We need Warehouse Volunteers to keep our stock moving from the van to the warehouse and sales floor, and back to the van for delivery when items are sold. This role is physical and a great way to meet new people and get in shape without going to the gym, but it’s not just moving furniture around.

There are other opportunities to help in our warehouse, such as warehouse logistics, booking and pricing stock as it arrives, building flat-packed furniture, and testing electrical items – you can try different roles!

A few hours of your time each week when you can will help us protect the environment, help people living with heart and circulatory diseases and also provide furniture that is affordable for local people.

 

Typical tasks include:

· Safely lifting and carrying a range of furniture items by hand/ using sack trucks that you will be trained to use

· Ensuring the warehouse is always kept clean, safe and organised

· Dealing with van deliveries to the shop and preparing deliveries for customers

· Building flat-pack furniture for display purposes and carrying out light furniture repairs if confident alongside the Warehouse Supervisor

· Re-stocking furniture on the shop floor as items are sold

 

Volunteering with the British Heart Foundation comes with plenty of benefits too…

· A 25% discount on donated goods and 10% discount on New Goods in our shops

· Unlimited, free, and confidential support by Retail Trust

· Access to training and development

· Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed

· Refreshments available

· Volunteer certificates, references and long service awards provided

· Access to discounts with other retailers

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 17 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
