The volunteer must be willing to adhere to and express the mission of Habitat for Humanity and maintain a Christian working atmosphere.

Detailed instructions are given at each new assignment. As the volunteers become familiar with procedures, more unsupervised judgement and decision making duties are given.

Duties:

• Pick up store material donations at homes, businesses, or other sites throughout Kitsap County using store truck or their own vehicle.

• Greet customers, answer questions and provide assistance as needed
• As needed, answer telephone and provide store information, directions, etc. to callers
• Keep truck and work areas clean, safe and orderly
• regularly communicate with Store Manager regarding donation/pick-up issues and problems. Recommend new/better methods of completing assigned tasks as needed.

This position requires that the volunteer be available to work, on occasion, outside of normal working hours. The majority of work involves driving a truck and the loading and unloading of materials. The ability to safely lift heavy or oversized items up to 75 pounds, bend, stand, squat, and climb in/out of a truck is required.

The position requires a good driving record, strong customer service and interpersonal skills and be dedicated to the mission and goals of Kitsap Habitat for Humanity.
