About the role
Our Stockroom Assistants work collaboratively with the store team and volunteers to ensure the efficient running of the store and the warehouse.

You will be responsible for handling and moving the deliveries of furniture and appliances that are coming into the store from the vans. You will ensure that all products meet the company’s quality standards.

Motivated by the knowledge your hard work will make a life-saving difference, you’ll be proactive, driven and customer focused.
