Are you someone who would like to stay in shape, do your bit for the environment and raise funds to power BHF Researchers in Bristol in 2022? Volunteering in our Kingswood furniture store could be the answer!
We need warehouse warriors to volunteer and keep our stock moving from the vans to the warehouse and shop floor, and back to the vans for delivery when items are sold.
This role can be physical but it’s not just moving furniture around. There are other opportunities to help, such as booking in and pricing stock with tablets, assembling flat-packed furniture, and testing electrical items – you can try different roles that take your fancy!
Typical tasks include:
· Ensuring the warehouse is always kept in a clean, safe and organised state
· Safely lifting and carrying a range of furniture items, big or small – it all helps!
· Dealing with van deliveries to the shop and preparing deliveries for customers
· Building flat-pack furniture for display purposes, carrying out light furniture repairs if confident alongside Warehouse Supervisor Bill
· Re-stocking furniture on the shop floor as items are sold
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
· Give back to the British Heart Foundation, encourage reuse culture and get a work out!
· The time and space to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
· Gain valuable warehousing experience to add to your CV and to learn new skills
· Flexible shifts to fit with your lifestyle - tell us when you can volunteer
We are working towards a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. A few hours of your time when you can means our Bristol BHF staff can help more people in future.
