PAT Tester

Furniture Plus provides affordable furniture to people in Fife through their Dysart and Dunfermline stores, supporting the community and the environment by reducing waste and encouraging reuse. They are looking for a PAT Tester to ensure the safety of donated electrical items.
The main tasks include:
• Checking the condition of donated goods
• Performing safety checks on electrical items
• Recording data on an iPad relating to the tests
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys practical tasks, and would like to gain experience working with electrical items.
Volunteers can acquire skills, knowledge and confidence as part of a dynamic team of staff and volunteers. If this is what you are looking for, get in touch with Furniture Plus today.

Experience required

Furniture Plus are happy to receive volunteers who are willing and keen to learn new skills, whilst growing confidence, meeting new people, have fun and feeling part of your local community. A knowledge of different electrical items, an ability to use basic tools, and an ability to make independent decisions are needed for this role. Volunteers also need to be able to use basic technology to record the results of the tests.
