CHAS Trading (Fife)
- VO104589
CHAS care for children throughout Scotland and they're here for the whole family. Whether at home, in hospital, or visiting their hospices, they give families the care and support they need, when they need it.
CHAS runs a number of charity shops across Scotland, selling donated stock as well as new goods to raise the vital funds required to care for children and their families. You will be volunteering within their retail team, supporting with the transportation of donated goods across our four shops and our local auction.
You will volunteer with a small team to drive their CHAS van and assist with the moving and handling of stock. If you enjoy meeting new people while having a laugh with a great team, this opportunity is for you!
Experience required
It would be great if you have good communication and customer service skills. It is important that you engage well in a team and you share the same values with the organisation: respect, care honesty and accountability. Some of this role requires heavy lifting and moving donations up and down stairs. A basic disclosure is also required for this role, costs of this are covered by CHAS.
Travel details
There is a CHAS van that is available for you to drive. This is parked at Rachel House, the CHAS hospice in Kinross. You will then drive their van around their four shops (two in Kinross and two in Dunfermline) and to the local auction.
Travel expenses
Yes - CHAS reimburses reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the course of volunteering, including public transport on submission of receipts/tickets and car (current mileage rate = 45p), every month.
Support
Training details
It’s important to CHAS that you feel happy, safe and confident in your role. As a CHAS volunteer you will be invited to complete a short core learning package that is tailored to your role. This can be done online or face to face with support.
CHAS are always developing new opportunities for volunteers to learn and offer a range of options for volunteers including over 25 free accredited online training courses from counselling skills to customer service through their partner organisation Skills Network Scotland.
