Overview
Are you looking for a rewarding way to give back to your community, stay active, and be part of a friendly, supportive team? We’re on the lookout for Volunteer Driver’s Mates to support our Stock Movement Drivers in delivering donated goods to our hospice shops.
Our retail shops play a vital role in raising funds that help provide care and support to local people facing life-limiting illness. Behind every stocked shelf is a logistics team working hard to keep donations moving efficiently and you could be part of that mission.
As a Volunteer Driver’s Mate, you’ll:
* Work alongside a driver to collect and deliver donated stock, mainly fashion items and other large items
* Help load and unload items safely and efficiently
* Assist with deliveries to and from our hospice shops and donation centre
* Interact with donors and shop staff in a helpful, friendly, and respectful way
* Support the overall running of our stock movement operations
You’ll be based out on the road, helping ensure our shops receive the right stock at the right time and that donors and customers get great service.
Whether you can give a regular day each week or just a few hours, we’d love to hear from you.
