Donation Drive Assistant

If you are enthusiastic about sustainability, waste prevention, and reuse, this is a great opportunity to make a real impact. The Energy & Sustainability Team is seeking passionate and motivated individuals to support the Donation Drive Project. Last year, we collected, sorted, and redistributed 9.5 tonnes of items, can you help to make the project bigger and better this year?

You will be comfortable working outdoors in all weathers and confident instructing our volunteers, ensuring that they clearly understand the signposting and processes. You will also need to be able to cope with the physical demands of this role as you will be on your feet all day, sorting and moving items such as kitchenware and food

Benefits of the Role

• Gain hands-on experience in sustainability, circular economy and waste reduction
• Develop teamwork, organisational, and leadership skills
• Contribute to a meaningful project that supports the local community and promotes environmental responsibility
• Opportunity to work with a passionate team dedicated to making a difference

The role is physically demanding and requires lifting and moving heavy boxes. A detailed risk assessment will be provided, and the role holder will attend an in-person briefing session. Appropriate equipment (e.g. trollies) will be provided to facilitate the moving of very heavy items
