Are you looking to make a difference while working in a dynamic and fulfilling role? Are you passionate about customer service and sustainability? Join us as a Stockroom Assistant in Truro. This is a part-time role for 14 hours a week in one of our busy furniture stores. Our stores are fast-paced and trade 7 days a week, requiring flexibility to work weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.
What does this role involve? As a Stockroom Assistant, you'll be at the heart of our retail operation by sorting, checking, and making the most out of the variety of donations we receive behind the scenes. This is not just a job of standing behind the till or filling shelves. Join a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, and everyone works as a team to fund life-saving research.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
1. Handling and moving the delivery of furniture and appliances that arrive in our stores
2. Ensuring the shop floor is always well stocked
3. Working in line with safety regulations and promoting health, safety, and wellbeing in everything you do
4. Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling
5. Keeping the stockroom organised and tidy
Please note: This role can be physically demanding and involves lifting large pieces of furniture. You will be given lots of autonomy in your role and will strive to continually build your knowledge of BHF.
Previous retail experience isn't essential. If you're an avid collector who likes to keep things neat and tidy, then we'd like to hear from you!
You'll be confident working within a team and able to guide the activity of volunteers. You'll work well under pressure and on your own initiative in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. Attention to detail is crucial in everything you do.
