Online Sales Research Volunteer

Our charity funds around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.

Online selling is a fast-growing part of retailing and if you have an interest in unusual or collectible items you could become part of our online sales team. Help research the desirability and value of the wonderfully varied items that people kindly donate to our charity shops. You don’t need any previous knowledge as we have tools that will help you carry out the research. All you do need is an eagerness to find out more about the items we are trying to sell, knowing you are playing your part in helping us continue to fund life saving research.

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.

Typical tasks include:

• Identifying those items and pieces that would appeal to an online buyer
Searching online to find the current market value to make sure BHF can get the best possible price
