Volunteer Van Mate (Martlets)

Our shops rely on a steady flow of stock to help raise vital funds for hospice care, and we're looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to help keep things moving.

As a Volunteer Van Mate, you'll travel with our drivers, delivering and collecting boxes, bags and other stock between our Distribution Centre and shops across Brighton, Hove and the surrounding area. It's a great opportunity to get out and about, be part of a supportive team, and make a real difference to the success of our charity shops.

Tuesday and Wednesday: Morning or afternoon shifts available Thursday: Full-day availability required, as vans will be visiting our shops further afield

Please note: Collection and delivery schedules can vary, and vans may not always return at the expected time. We therefore ask volunteers to be flexible, particularly at the end of their shift.

Please note you must be over 18 to apply for this role.

• Physically fit and comfortable lifting and moving boxes and bags
• Reliable, enthusiastic and willing to work as part of a team
• Good communication skills
• Able to follow instructions and work safely.

Benefits

• Be part of a friendly and supportive team
• Enhance your CV while supporting a local charity
• Full training and ongoing support (you will need to attend our Moving and Handling objects training as part of this role)

Practical Considerations

• Reasonable travel expenses can be covered
• Please note: Collection and delivery schedules can vary, and vans may not always return at the expected time. We therefore ask volunteers to be flexible, particularly at the end of their shift.
