Job description

Volunteer Warehouse Assistant (Hornbeam Park)

Make a difference just by being you

We are looking for volunteers to assist with the day-to-day operations of the Donation Centre by helping to receive donations, load and unload the van and help with general maintenance.

There is no minimum time commitment that we expect from our volunteers so whether you can do a few hours a week or once a month, we’ll do our best to offer a role that fits in with your schedule. No previous experience is necessary as training will be provided.

What happens next?

If you decide to apply a member of the volunteering team will contact you and ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of how you'd like to help. From there you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the Donation Centre takes your interest!
