About Us
Chris Carey’s Collections is a family-run textile recycling company working with charities, schools, and organisations across the UK.

About the Role and Team
This role suits someone who is comfortable handling day-to-day issues as they arise and keeping things moving without needing step-by-step direction.
Working in a small business means priorities can change, so we’re looking for someone who is adaptable and happy to turn their hand to different tasks when needed.
