About this opportunity

By being at the forefront of textile reuse and recycling, Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL) helps fund Salvation Army’s vital work with vulnerable people in the UK. Join the SATCoL team to help care for local communities and our planet, by being a part of finding new homes for pre-loved clothes, household items, and collectibles. They require a van mate to collect furniture from properties throughout Fife and deliver furniture to customers. The van mate will also help out in the donation centre with tasks including arranging furniture displays, helping out at the donation station within the centre and helping to keep the back of house clean and tidy.

With SATCoL, you will meet new people, build confidence, gain skills and experience for your first or next career move.
