About this opportunity

British Heart Foundation funds around 100 million pounds of research each year into heart and circulatory diseases and their causes. If you would like to stay in shape, help save the planet and raise funds to save lives, volunteering in your local furniture store warehouse could be the answer.

Typical tasks include:
-Safely lifting and carrying a range of furniture items by hand
-Ensuring the warehouse is always kept clean, safe and organised
-Dealing with van deliveries to the shop and preparing deliveries for customers
-Building flat-pack furniture for display purposes and carrying out light furniture repairs if confident alongside the Warehouse Supervisor
-Re-stocking furniture on the shop floor as items are sold

This role can be physical but it’s not just moving furniture around. There are other opportunities to help in the warehouse, such as warehouse logistics, booking stock in, building our flat-packed furniture, and testing electrical items.
