We’ve got a strong set of values that inform everything we do and we’re looking for people who are aligned with these. As our Van Driver and Donation Centre Assistant, you will put people in Yorkshire at the heart of everything you do, unite with colleagues and other organisations in this cause, and dare to think big and bold to make positive solutions happen.  

The Role 

We are currently looking for a Van Driver and Donation Centre Assistant to join our Retail, Services and Operations team.

Reporting to the Centre Manager, you will be part of the team responsible for ensuring the efficient running of the donation centre. The primary focus of this role is to deliver stock to our retail shops across Yorkshire in a timely manner. However, at busy times you will also be required to assist with sorting and selecting of stock, collecting and accepting donations at the centre or from donors, assisting with general maintenance tasks and supporting with the removal of general waste through the appropriate channels whilst working in compliance with all relevant Health and Safety legislation and our Driving for Work policy.

  • Be an ambassador for the charity whilst driving branded vehicles, ensuring that you drive carefully and mindfully of other road users. 

  • Seek opportunities to actively engage with visitors to enhance their visit and further promote the profile of the charity. 

  • Be responsible for assessing the quality of goods collected, including furniture which will include declining donations that are unsuitable for sale and may contravene the Sales of Goods Act 1979. 

  • Take pride in the centre's presentation, seeing everything through the eyes of the visitor and addressing anything that would not meet a visitor's expectations. 

  • Complete PAT testing of electrical donations to ensure that they are safe for us to sell (full training will be provided.) 

  • In the absence of the Donation Centre Managers, monitor the Donation Centre email inbox daily for Stock Requests from shops and ensure that the Donation Centre team have prepared the stock in line with the weekly delivery schedule. 

  • Assist with basic maintenance tasks at all sites, including: 

  • Minor repairs to fixtures and fittings 

  • Basic grounds/exterior maintenance 

  • Painting & decorating

  • To be ideally educated to at least GCSE standard or equivalent, including Maths and English 

  • To have the ability and willingness to travel across the Yorkshire region 

  • To have a full UK driving license with less than 6 penalty points 

  • A willingness to undertake any additional training as required
