Would you like your work to positively impact disabled children’s lives and the planet?
Newlife provides access to the vital equipment disabled children and their families rely on, offering information and support
through our team of dedicated healthcare professionals and sponsoring pioneering medical research into the causes of birth
defects, we offer families a voice through our campaigns for change and, our recycling programme saves thousands of tons of waste
from being sent to landfill or incinerated every year. Our mission, simply put, is to change lives and you could be a part of that
change!
We are not like any other charity. All our online stock is new, donated by retailers, allowing us to create a heaven for online
bargain hunters and savvy fashionista’s who want high street products at discount prices.
The Opportunity:
Working as part of a team this role has the responsibility for the evaluation of donated stock items to decide if the item should
be recycled or re-sold and where it can be re-sold at what price point.
The role requires good communication skills, the ability to use initiative and the ability to work at a fast and accurate pace to
ensure targets are met and stock is assessed correctly every time.
Making sure we get the maximum return on all items donated to Newlife is important in ensuring that we can support disabled
children and their families across the UK.
Key responsibilities:
* Accurately assess suitability of items for sale through accurate evaluation of garment safety, product defects, seasonality and
potential value to customer
* Implement the appropriate recycling process where an item is ‘unsaleable’.
* Assess garment selling price.
* Work at pace to ensure targets have been met.
* Pre-retail stock in line with retail guidelines.
* Ensure stock is de-branded and labelled accurately in accordance with label management guidelines.
You will be motivated by results and have the drive for continuous improvement. In return, we can offer the environment for you to
be your best and realise your potential.
What we are looking for:
You will need to have a passion for fashion and homeware with an up to date knowledge of current trends and an appreciation for
market values.
You will ideally have experience of working in a warehouse or processing environment.
You will be a great communicator, be able to make informed decisions, work on your own initiative and as part of a team. Have
strong numeracy skills and be able to work at pace.
