Norwood, United Kingdom Vision Foundation Full time

Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment? Are you passionate about the sales industry, or do you have a love of shopping for or collecting vintage items? If so, Vision Foundation is waiting to hear from you.

No one day is the same when working in our warehouse where you will join the team to assist in all aspects of warehouse management.

We particularly welcome anyone who is passionate about, or has lived experience of, sight loss.
