Genesis Furniture Shop Warehouse Assistant (warehouse)
The Genesis Trust exists to offer immediate practical help to people who are hungry, homeless and vulnerable, and provide long-term help and opportunities for them to rebuild their lives. We work individually with people on their journey from despair to hope, from crisis to independence.
One of the ways that we fund this work is through sales of donated furniture on our online shop. Every piece of furniture sold goes to support the charitable work of the Genesis Trust.
We have the opportunity for a warehouse assistant to join our supportive team. This role requires a regular commitment. It is a physically demanding role requiring lifting and moving of furniture. You'll be out at our warehouse near Keynsham, assisting our furniture manager to keep everything running smoothly.
