Warehouse/Driver Volunteer

Our Warehouse/Driver Volunteers are the beating heart of our charity. The Volunteers work out of our Penzance warehouse, where all our donated furniture, fittings, white goods and equipment is stored. The Volunteers are the first people our Customers meet and since all our Customers are vulnerable, in need and experiencing significant financial hardship, it is essential for our Volunteers to be able to offer kindness, patience and understanding, a "people first" approach is absolutely essential. As a Warehouse Volunteer, you will be showing Customers around the Warehouse, helping them to identify what they need and what meets their needs best. You may need to get involved in sensitive conversations about their social and financial situation, but there is always a senior member of staff around to help and assist. What is essential is a relaxed, friendly manner and a sense of humour definitely helps. As one of the designated Drivers, as well as working in the Warehouse, you will also be driving the van loaded with furniture to the accommodation of our Customers, unloading and putting in situ, furniture, fittings and white goods delivered.

As a Driver, you must be aged 25 or over and with a clean driving licence
