Are you a reliable, physically fit individual who enjoys being on the road and making a genuine difference in your local community? We are looking for two motivated individuals to join the Too Good To Chuck (TGTC) project, helping to give unwanted furniture and household items a second life while supporting residents in need across Wolverhampton.
This is more than a driving role. You'll play a vital part in reducing waste, supporting sustainability initiatives, and helping vulnerable individuals and families access essential household items.
About the Role
Working as part of a two-person team, you will drive a 3.5-tonne vehicle (standard UK driving licence required) to collect reusable furniture and household goods from recycling centres and deliver them to those who need them most.
At the start of the week, you'll collect donated items from the recycling centres at Shaw Road and Anchor Lane and transport them to East Park Church, where the items are sorted and prepared for redistribution. Throughout the week, you'll receive delivery schedules and job sheets, collect items from the church, and deliver them directly to residents across the local area.
This is a hands-on role that involves regular lifting and moving of larger items such as sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, and other household furniture.
Key Responsibilities

Collect reusable furniture and household goods from designated recycling centres.
Deliver donated items to East Park Church for sorting and storage.

Load, unload, lift, and move furniture and household items safely.

Follow delivery schedules and complete jobs within allocated timeframes.

Provide a professional and courteous service to residents, community partners, and colleagues.
Adhere to health and safety procedures, including safe manual handling practices.

Excellent customer service and communication skills.
A positive attitude and willingness to support a community-focused project.

Why Apply?
