Current opportunity

Glencraft are a social enterprise and charity, dating back to 1843. We provide employment opportunities to disabled and disadvantaged persons in Aberdeen, with a particular focus on visual impairment, and we do so by manufacturing high quality mattresses. Our mattresses are shipped around the UK, and even to China and Canada, but we also sell to a loyal customer base in Aberdeen, from our factory and showroom in Mastrick. For local sales, we undertake the deliveries ourselves, using our own van. We are currently seeking volunteer support for deliveries. Deliveries are typically limited to within 30 miles of Aberdeen, and we try to limit them to Thursday mornings. The role requires the person to have good communication skills to keep a good relationship with customers, requires good physical fitness to help carry mattresses up stairs to customers rooms, and clean personal appearance to represent the Glencraft brand in a positive manner. The volunteering can also include some simple assembly work of bed bases and headboards, so basic DIY skills would be helpful. Due to limitations on our insurance policies, the volunteer must be over 30 years old and hold a full clean UK driving licence. It is an important role for the business and we welcome any persons who are motivated to perform the role. For further details please contact Donald MacKay, Chief Executive at email: donald.mackay@glencraft.co.uk or telephone: 01224 873366. A fantastic opportunity to be involved in a successful charity and social enterprise. All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated.
