Calm, collected and confident on the phone?

by British Heart Foundation

Are you calm, collected and happy to chat on the phone? Are you looking for admin or customer service experience? Join the volunteer team at the British Heart Foundation store. You will be the first point of contact for customers who call our furniture store, helping them with any enquiries, arranging collections for donations and explaining our Gift Aid scheme. You will also be using our online collections request system to process online collection booking requests.
Note this is a customer facing role based on our sales floor, so you may be dealing with customer enquiries face-to-face as well as by telephone.
Our team is welcoming and friendly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.
Typical tasks include:
· Dealing with members of the public with confidence
· Answering incoming telephone calls
· Following administration procedures accurately
You get a lot from volunteering too:
· A chance to work in a friendly team, to make new friends and meet a diverse group of people
· Develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
· Gain valuable work experience to add onto your CV and learn new skills
