Cardiff, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Furniture & Electrical Full time

Are you good with electrical items, or do you have an interest in electrical gadgets? If you want to help the environment in a voluntary role behind the scenes, this could be the position for you. Our electrical item tester volunteers make sure all our donated electrical items are fully functional and safe for sale.

You’ll receive detailed training which you will need to complete before starting and ongoing support from the warehouse team. You will need a knowledge of Health and Safety procedures and an attention to detail, but no specialist electrical knowledge is required. You will have a big impact on our mission to beat heartbreak forever, help the environment and provide affordable quality electrical items for sale.

**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 crwys road team led by perveen and darren is welcoming and friendly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.

**Typical tasks include**:

- Plugging items in, turning them on and making sure all the functions work correctly
- Following specific guidance on testing a vast range of different electrical items safely
- Cleaning donated items so they’re ready for re-sale
- Some light lifting with help on hand for the heavier items and white goods
- Identifying poor quality / damaged donations for recycling
- Identifying unusual or interesting items for online selling
- Acting as an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation

**You get a lot from volunteering too**:

- A chance to work in a friendly team, make new friends & meet a diverse group
- The chance to help the British Heart Foundation beat heartbreak forever
- Develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
- Gain valuable warehouse 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% discount on donated goods for volunteers
