Richard House Children’s Hospice has six busy charity shops across Barking, Dagenham, Hornchurch and Upminster.  Our shops rely heavily on the distribution of goods.  Our van drivers drive our hospice van, collecting and delivering small items of furniture and other items donated to the hospice shops.  During a shift you will drive the hospice van between our shops, to companies, and to customers' and donors' homes throughout East London and parts of Essex.

What skills do we need?

For insurance purposes drivers need a minimum of 24 months’ driving experience with a full clean licence to drive up to a 3.5 tonne box van.  They also need to be physically capable of lifting and moving items of furniture.  Drivers work with a Distribution Assistant so team work is essential and we are looking for people who are friendly, reliable and hardworking.

How much time will it take?

We ask for a minimum of 4 hours between 9am to 4pm.  If drivers are interested in longer or multiple shifts, that would be great.

Location

Shifts start and end at Richard House Children’s Hospice, E16 3RG.
