Furniture Assembly Volunteer
Furniture Assembly Volunteer
Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.
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 your local Air Ambulance or National Children’s Air Ambulance store the role for you. Working with the warehouse team, who will support you with any larger items, you’ll ideally have some experience with flat pack building, working with tools, and be confident following detailed instructions.
Tools and training will be provided, and your work will be quality checked by the manager. This is a hands-on volunteer role that will have a big impact in helping us continue to fund lifesaving missions.
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with any unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
Typical tasks include:
- Following detailed build instructions for flat-pack furniture
- Safely assembling flat-packed furniture for display in store or delivery to customers
- Working to time frames for customer assembly requests – flexible shifts are an option
- Maintaining an organised and safe toolkit and workspace
- Alerting the Manager to any defects or spare parts needed when constructing flat pack sets
- Carrying out minor repairs on donated items of furniture in agreement with the Warehouse Manager if you feel comfortable doing so
Application deadline - Ongoing
Informal chat - After you have applied, the shop manager will contact you to arrange a time to chat about volunteering, which could also include a taster session
