Newport, United Kingdom AgeUK Full time

Age UK's shops are the face of the charity. On high streets up and down the country our retail staff and volunteers deliver a great shopping experience to customers, while generating much needed income for the charity, ensuring we can provide services and support to older people who need it most.

We are looking for a physically fit and active individual to join our Newport (Isle of Wight) team as a Van Driver. This role provides an important service to our shops by collecting, transferring and delivering stock from one shop to another, thereby ensuring that stock is at the right shop, at the right time in the most cost and time efficient manner.

This role will also be responsible for collecting stock from specific locations as requested and moving furniture within or across areas as required.

This role is physically demanding and will require frequently lifting and moving heavy items of stock and furniture, often up and down stairs as premises dictate.

*** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 3 MONTH FIXED TERM CONTRACT ***

Essential requirements

  • Full current driving licence
  • Able to carry and lift bags of stock up to 10kg's

You will:

  • Be able to positively communicate with all customers, members of the public, work colleagues and volunteers
  • Attend meetings and training as required
  • Have a positive and flexible approach to your work
  • Be an advocate for Age UK
  • Occasionally you may be required to carry out long drives, stay overnight and work nationally

What we offer in return:

  • A 37.5 hour working week
  • 25 days holiday (pro-rata) + bank holiday allowance
  • A generous pension - we will contribute 8%
  • Great discounts and rewards through Blue Light Card and BenefitHub
  • Life assurance, Bupa health cashback plan
  • Tickets for Good - Free and discounted tickets for events

Additional Information
