- Preparing items for delivery to shops
- Preparing items for recycling collections

About you
You will be a motivated and enthusiastic individual with a love for animals. Good communication, attention to detail and rationality are the key to a successful donation sorting volunteer.

Full in person training will be provided for donation sorting and retail guidelines, as well as our waste management and recycling processes. All staff and volunteers are required to complete online Health & Safety training prior to their start date. All volunteers must be over the age of 18.
