Retail Electrical Department Volunteer

1 week ago

Burnley, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Furniture & Electrical store Full time

Are you keen on electrical items? Are you wanting a retail sales floor role that’s a bit different? Your efforts in effectively displaying and maintaining our donated electrical items on the sales floor will ensure customers can purchase clean, affordable and safe electrical items from us with confidence, whilst raising life-saving funds.

This is a great volunteer role for anyone wanting to develop transferrable skills as it involves visual merchandising, engaging with customers and ensuring electrical safety labelling is correct. Full training is provided, and attention to detail will be a key part of the role.

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:

- Ensuring donated items are always clean and looking their best ready for sale
- Developing your understanding of both visual merchandising and electrical safety as you replenish the sales floor with tested electrical items from the warehouse
- Making sure all pricing and electrical safety labels are clearly visible
- Helping identify any unusual items for online selling
- Using your creativity with shop displays while adhering to display guidelines
- Engaging with customers on the shop floor, answering queries about electrical items

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

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.

COVID precautions:
We are COVID-secure, following current Government guidance. We provide sneeze screens at till-points, hand sanitiser, disinfectant and face coverings. We maintain a strict cleaning schedule and social distancing in our shops/ stores.
