An opportunity has arisen for a Warehouse Assistant to join our talented and committed team of staff and volunteers who work hard to generate income for the hospice through our diverse retail operation - comprising our nine charity shops, Furniture Plus shop, online sales, The Old Bank Café and our gift shop. We are now looking to add to our team as we continue to maximise income and improve the customer experience, to secure this vital source of income to the hospice in future.

The team has ambitions to generate nearly £1.6 million this year, and all our profits fund hospice care for the people of Bolton.

Our patients and their families tell us that Bolton Hospice has not only provided care but given them compassion, dignity and respect when they needed it most. So if you are looking for a challenging and rewarding new role and share our values, now is an exciting time to join us and make a real difference to the lives of local people facing life-limiting illnesses through your work.

Part Time - 22.5 hrs per week/ 3 out of 5 days per week.

(Weekends on a rotational basis)

Salary £12,223 per annum (WTE £ 21,730)

 

The role:

You will work proactively with the Furniture Plus Store Manager to ensure effective and efficient management of donations from our generous supporters ready for sale in our shops while also providing an excellent experience for customers, donors and volunteers.

You’ll report to the Furniture Plus Manager, and will work with them to further develop your areas of responsibility, continuously improve quality and provide effective and supportive line management of your team of staff.

What you need:

We are looking for someone with a track record of success working in a warehouse and or distribution environment, but this doesn’t have to have been gained in the charity sector.

It would be desirable for you to have solid supervisory and motivational skills and be confident in recruiting and managing volunteers.

You will be a great communicator, at ease in building good working relationships, and highly organised to enable you to manage a busy and varied workload.

You will be comfortable in working to targets and excited about the opportunity to meet them and contribute to year on year income growth.

Finally, you will need to be passionate about our cause and demonstrate a strong commitment to the hospice’s values of compassion, respect, professionalism, excellence, inclusivity and collaboration.
