Voluntary posts at British Heart Foundation

British Heart Foundation Furniture and Electrical Store in Aldershot are looking for volunteers for our shop to help us Beat Heartbreak Forever.

The voluntary roles currently available are:

Customer Service Volunteer

Do you love to chat and get to know people? Can you talk about anything and everything? If this sounds like you we have a fantastic opportunity to let you do just that.

In our stores we talk to our customers, make them feel welcome, help them find the things they’re looking for and inform them of the BHF’s life-saving heart research. So, we’re always looking for outgoing and enthusiastic customer service volunteers.

We keep the shop floor looking fresh and inspiring and thank everyone who brings in their donations and custom. Come and be a part of your local team and learn customer service skills and gain experience. Don’t worry if you’re not a confident speaker, with this role all you need is a welcoming and helpful attitude.

We’ll provide you with all the support and help you need. Perfect for enhancing your CV and skills set, we also offer our volunteers the choice to do free NVQ / Vocational qualifications*

**Subject to eligibility

Telephone/Admin Volunteer

Are you calm, collected and happy to chat on the phone? We’re always looking for friendly, confident and helpful people to join our team and become the voice of their local shop. You will be the first point of contact for our customers helping them with any enquiries and arranging collections for donations.

Come and be a part of your local team and learn customer service skills and gain experience. If you have good communication skills and you’re able to follow administration processes accurately, then come and be a part of our team and laugh and chat with other volunteers over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Perfect for enhancing your CV and skills set, we also offer our volunteers the choice to do free NVQ / Vocational qualifications*

*Subject to eligibility.

Warehouse Volunteer

Looking for a workout? If you like to keep active and stay in shape, volunteering in our warehouse could be the answer you’re looking for. We always need helpful and active people to help keep our stock moving from the van to warehouse – and onto the store and from store back to the van for delivery!

This role will involve keeping active much of the day but it’s not just moving furniture. When volunteering here you can also get involved in putting together our flat packed furniture and help our warehouse team such as booking in and checking over stock for sale.

So, if you like to keep active and stay in shape volunteering in your local furniture and electrical warehouse could be the answer you’re looking for.

Electrical Function Tester

If you are a bit of a gadget fan, figuring out how they work and making sure they’re safe to use, this is the perfect volunteering role for you. We’re looking for people like you to test the electrical equipment that is donated to us, making sure it is suitable and safe for sale before moving on to the final stage of appliance testing.

We’ll give you all the training you need to be able to safely and confidently carry out this role. So if you have an interest in electrical items, can work in a safe and organised manner and would like to broaden your skill set, pop down to your local Furniture & Electrical store for more information and join the BHF team.

Housekeeping volunteer

Do you love getting out the mop and bucket, handy with a duster and love your kitchen and rest areas sparkling? We are looking for a Housekeeping / Cleaning volunteer to do just that!

As part of this role, activities will include cleaning the staff areas, stairways and restrooms as well as stocking up on refreshments and cleaning supplies to maintain a lovely environment for the team. This housekeeping role really makes all the difference to our colleagues.

So if you are looking for a volunteer role that is totally flexible that can be fitted in around your other commitments, then this could be just right for you. Whether you have an hour to spare or more, this role makes a huge difference.
