Job Description:

If you want retail experience, nothing beats our BHF Fashion, books and music shops. You’ll be at the heart of helping run the shop – whether you’re on the shop floor helping with sales, displays and serving customers on the till or behind the scenes processing donations, helping run a department or hunting through donations for unusual items for selling online!

Alternatively in our Furniture store in Truro we have warehousing roles, keeping furniture moving, booking stock in using tablets and making sure our collections and deliveries stay organised. You can also help us test donated electrical items to make sure they are fully operational after they have been PAT tested. Lastly you can help with donation bookings over the phone and using bespoke software, scheduling our van crews to collect from generous locals if you want some administrative and logistic experience.

Key Skills:

The ability to work as a team, ask questions, try new things and to let us know if you cannot make it in for your shift would be great. Most important is a kind nature and willingness to get stuck in and learn!

Type of Placement:

Work experience / Volunteering – Flexible (8 weeks – 6 months)
