Join Us in Making Every Moment Matter
At our hospice, every role plays a part in providing exceptional care and comfort to patients and their families. If you're caring, compassionate, and committed to making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Your welcome. Your teamwork. Your impact.
Enjoy practical work and meeting people? Join our retail warehouse team and help turn donated goods into income that supports the Hospice’s services. This is a fixed-term contract, initially for one year, with the potential to extend on a three-month rolling basis, depending on the needs of the organisation and how long interim support is required.
People are at the heart of this role. You’ll offer donors a warm welcome, work alongside colleagues and volunteers, and help make sure every donation is handled with care. From preparing stock for our shops to spotting items for online resale, your contribution will have a purpose beyond the warehouse.
What you’ll do
· Welcome donors, receive and sort donations, and promote Gift Aid.
· Prepare shop orders and identify higher-value items for our E-Commerce team.
· Support deliveries and collections, including van driving when required.
· Help keep the warehouse tidy and safe, and support colleagues and volunteers.
· Provide cover at other Hospice shops or locations when needed.
What you’ll bring
You’ll have experience of customer service, teamwork and receiving donations, alongside GCSE English and Maths or equivalent qualifications. Clear communication, basic IT and numeracy skills, and an organised approach will help you in this role.
You’ll need a full driving licence valid for the vehicles used and must meet the applicable motor-insurance requirements. The work involves frequently lifting and moving furniture and other donations, with appropriate equipment, support or reasonable adjustments.
Experience with volunteers or charity retail is welcome, as is knowledge of Gift Aid, donated goods or safe working practices—but these are desirable rather than essential.
Bring your skills. Make a difference.
Full training is provided. If you enjoy helping people, working as part of a team and seeing the results of a practical day’s work, we’d love to hear from you. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are committed to providing reasonable adjustments where needed throughout the recruitment process.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to close the vacancy at an earlier date.
