Belfast, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Full time

Do you love books, films and music? We’re looking for enthusiastic people to help price, organise and display our wide range of books, films, cds and vinyl in our shop. Create exciting and eye-catching displays, find hidden gems or just share your love of a good film with customers on the till. This is a flexible retail assistant role where you can try different roles throughout the shop.

Our shop volunteers are essential to the running of the shop - we couldn’t do it without them. Whichever retail role you choose to do, you’ll be part of a small team providing the best possible service and raising funds to help the BHF beat heartbreak forever.

Say hello to the team:
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Now, more than ever, we are in urgent need of volunteers to enable us to continue our life saving research and help the 7.6 million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory diseases. This wouldn’t be possible without our fantastic volunteers.

Our team is welcoming and friendly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.

Typical tasks include:

- Sharing your love of books, film or music whilst serving on the till or shop floor
- Promoting our campaigns to customers
- Keeping the shop re-stocked, tidy and well-organised - some light housekeeping
- Helping sort donations in the stock room, cleaning, recycling, ordering and pricing donations out the back - pick a specialism or be an all-round helper
- Working on window and/or shop displays - getting creative alongside the Manager

You get a lot from volunteering too:

- A chance to work in a friendly team, make new friends & meet a diverse group
- The feel-good factor of helping the British Heart Foundation beat heartbreak forever
- The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
- The ability to gain valuable retail experience to add to your CV and learn new skills
- Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle around your other commitments
- Reasonable travel reimbursed in agreement with the Manager
- 25% volunteer discount on donated goods

Here's a little bit more about us:
The BHF is here to Beat Heartbreak Forever. We are working towards a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. By 2030, we want to see advances across the spectrum of heart and circulatory diseases; to prevent these conditions from developing and we want those with existing conditions to have better, longer lives.
