Join Our Team as a Donations Assistant – Make a Real Difference Every Day
* Are you looking for a role where your work truly matters? As a Donations Assistant, you’ll play a vital part in supporting the life-changing care we provide to individuals and families living with terminal illness at our two Cornish Hospices.
* Working closely with a passionate and supportive team, you’ll be at the heart of our retail operation — carefully sorting through donated goods to decide what goes on to our shop floors and what can be recycled sustainably. Your keen eye will help shape our product offering and ensure we make the most of every kind donation.
* You’ll also engage with our wonderful donors at our 3 vibrant donation centres, helping to boost our Gift Aid income, which plays a key role in funding the compassionate services we provide through our hospices.
* This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to make every donated item count and be part of something meaningful.
What You’ll Do:
* Sort and prepare donated items for sale or recycling
* Ensure a great experience for all our donors
* Help customers understand and sign up for Gift Aid
* Support the day-to-day running of a busy and energetic donation centre
“My friend was nursed so well, and had every attention during his last days. He twice asked me; who is paying for all this? and couldn’t believe it was free. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone had access to this standard of care.”
