British Heart Foundation – Volunteer Online Listings

Location:  Do you know your way around online selling and buying sites? Have you got an interest in unusual or sought-after collectables? Then join our volunteering team – come and be amazed at some of the items that are donated to us and strike gold with those rare unusual finds! We’ve got dedicated resources to help and assist you with this unique volunteering role. Research the interesting items; package them up and send them off to be sold at our online sales HQ. Every week we’ll send updates about the most unusual and exciting finds we’ve managed to sell though our stores – will your find be the next headliner? Say hello to the team: Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Last year our British Heart Foundation UK charity shops across the UK raised an incredible £28 million – this wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic volunteers.  Our team is bright and bubbly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life. Typical tasks include: · Photographing items for listing on online selling sites · Researching donated items, to gather as much information on unusual items before listing them online – investigative work required! · Getting involved in uploading as much practical information about goods for sale · Packing and posting items to be sent to our online sales HQ · Helping the Manager to handle online queries from customers You get a lot from volunteering too: · A chance to work in a friendly team, to make new friends and meet a diverse group of people · The opportunity to make an invaluable contribution to British Heart Foundation goal of beating heartbreak forever · The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills · The ability to gain valuable work experience to add onto your CV and to learn new skills · Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle · The chance to gain valuable retail experience Please note – we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 and we cannot accept volunteers with unspent criminal convictions or who are subject to criminal registers/orders  Here’s a little bit more about us: The BHF is here to Beat Heartbreak Forever. We are working towards a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. By 2030, we want to see advances across the spectrum of heart and circulatory diseases; we want to prevent these conditions from developing and we want those with existing conditions to have better, longer lives.
