Volunteer Stock Collection Drivers Mate

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 a few hours a week to spare and enjoy meeting people? We need help to collect donated items from our supporters when they are unable to bring them into our shop themselves.  You will need to be physically fit and active for this driver role due to the lifting and carrying of donation bags in and out of the vehicle.

This vital role will allow us to continue collecting donations so we can keep our Missions Flying.  

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:

• Collecting stock donations from people’s houses, local businesses or our donation banks and delivering them to your local shop. 
• Transferring stock between shops and our Hubs on a local level as required
• Following H&S guidelines on collections and personal safety  

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  

Start date - After your chat with the manager and once on-boarding has been completed, we will work with you to agree a start date
