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

Do you have an interest in DIY and a bit of spare time? Volunteering to help construct flat-pack furniture to a high standard in the Crewys Road BHF Furniture store may be the role for you.

As part of this voluntary role you’ll build flat-pack furniture for customers who wish to receive new furniture items pre-assembled, and for displaying on our sales floor. If confident, you can carry out minor repairs on donated furniture items.

Working with the warehouse team who will support you with any larger items, you’ll ideally have some experience flat-pack building, working with tools, and be confident following detailed instructions. Tools and training will be provided, questions are encouraged and your work will be quality checked and signed off by a Manager.

**Say hello to the team**:
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Last year our British Heart Foundation UK charity shops raised an incredible £28 million - this wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic volunteers. Our Crewys Road team led by Perveen and Darren are a friendly bunch who love meeting people from all walks of life.

**Typical tasks include**:

- Following detailed build instructions using BHF supplied tools for flat-pack furniture
- Safely assembling flat-packed furniture for display in store or delivery to customers
- Having your work signed off by a Manager for a quality check
- Working to time frames for customer assembly requests - flexible shifts are an option
- Maintaining an organised and safe toolkit and work space, cleaning up when finished
- Taking inventory and problem solving during assembly and alerting the Manager to any defects / spare parts needed when beginning to construct flat-pack sets
- Carrying out minor repairs on donated items of furniture in agreement with the Warehouse Manager if you feel comfortable doing so

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

- A chance to work as part of a diverse team, meet people & make friends
- The feel-good factor of making an invaluable contribution towards the British Heart Foundation goal to beat heartbreak forever
- The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
- The opportunity to gain warehouse and retail experience to add to your CV
- Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle - tell us when volunteering suits you
- 25% volunteer discount on donated goods
- Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed in agreement with the Manager

**Here's a little bit more about us**:
