As our Donations Sorting Assistant, you will put people in Yorkshire at the heart of everything you do, unite with colleagues and other organisations in this cause, and dare to think big and bold to make positive solutions happen.
The Role
Reporting to the Warehouse Operations Manager (Donations), our Donations Sorting Assistant will be responsible for quickly, efficiently and accurately sorting donations of clothing, bric-a-brac, electrical and all other donated items, for re-sale in our network of charity shops and via our eCommerce outlets. This role will operate in accordance with all health and safety regulations.
You will be expected to receive stock donations from our donors in a friendly, positive and welcoming way. We do not turn donations away as we have a significant growth plan for our retail network, so it is essential that the Donations Sorting Assistant is able to remain positive and welcoming to all supporters and demonstrate our gratitude for receiving donations.

Specifically, you will:
- Quickly and efficiently sort a wide variety of donated stock.
- Ensure that donated stock is stored appropriately and safely, in accordance with all health and safety regulations and charity policies
- Identify if any specific donated stock suits the profile/demographics of specific shops in the retail network and ensure that those items are ringfenced and delivered in a timely manner to maximise income for the charity.
- Communicate with Retail teams regarding stock offers and ensure that any requests for specific items are actioned in a timely manner.
- Create an engaging and supportive environment for our volunteers and ensure that the Donation Centre and warehouse are both great places to work.
- Help create a welcoming professional atmosphere and deliver high standards of customer service for all donors, customers and supporters.
- Coach any corporate volunteers in the standards that we expect in sorting and represent the charity positively.
- Contribute to the motivation of the Donation Centre and warehouse team by being a team player and supporting your peers with any problem solving.
- Ensure that the donated goods are processed in a timely manner to maximise income for the charity.
- Work in a way that minimises the risk of damage and stock loss.
- Contribute to a culture where income generation is a passion for the team, ensuring that every donor is asked to add Gift Aid and that you are clear on the benefits of this.
- Be trained as a First Aider and Fire Marshal.
About You
To be considered for this role, you will need:
- To ideally be educated to GCSE level or equivalent.
- To have experience of working in a charity retailer or sorting high volume donated stock would be an advantage.
- To have basic understanding of Microsoft Office programs including Outlook, Word, and Excel
- To be highly organised with good time management skills.
- To be resilient and able to react to quickly changing dynamics and flexibility.
- To have the ability to prioritise workload and meet deadlines.
- To be able to use own initiative and work with little direction, as management will not always be at the same site.
- To be able to travel independently across dual site.
- A willingness to complete our pre-employment checks (to be undertaken once the role is offered and accepted) which include:
- A check on your employment history by seeking two references
- A check on your eligibility to work in the UK as per the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006
