Full Job Description
The role is part time for 21 hours a week in one of our busy furniture stores. Our stores are fast-paced and trade 7 days a week. This role requires flexibility to work weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis. You will join the team on a 3-month fixed term contract. What does this role involve? As a Stockroom Assistant, you'll be at the heart of our retail operation by sorting, checking and making the most out of the variety of donations we receive behind the scenes. This is not just a standing behind the till or filling shelves type of job. Join a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and everyone works as a team to fund life-saving research. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Handling and moving the delivery of furniture and appliances that arrive in our stores
- Ensuring the shop floor is always well stocked
- Working in line with safety regulations and promoting health, safety and wellbeing in everything you do
- Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling
- Keeping the stockroom organised and tidy Please note, this role can be physical demanding and involves lifting large pieces of furniture. You will be given lots of autonomy in your role and will strive to continually build your knowledge of BHF.
- Previous retail experience isn't essential. If you're an avid collector who likes to keep things neat and tidy, then we'd like to hear from you!
- You'll be confident working within a team and able to guide the activity of volunteers
- You'll work well under pressure and on your own initiative in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
- Attention to detail in everything you do

We receive 1.6 million items donated to our home stores and 9.8 million bags of donated items and we will continue to build upon our reuse agenda in the years to come. Everything we do comes back to funding lifesaving research for all heart and circulatory conditions. We are more ambitious and determined than ever - because the cures and treatments we need are in sight. You could be part of getting us there sooner! Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed. - 38 days annual leave (with the option to sell leave)
