Transport Office

 

This role is currently full.

About Crisis at Christmas 

Christmas can be very challenging, but particularly for people who do not have a place that they can call home. We mobilise a huge volunteer effort to bring warmth, companionship, and vital services to people at one of the hardest times of the year. We help people take their first steps out of homelessness, offering Crisis’ year-round support and training to help them leave homelessness behind for good.

About the role

Based in our Christmas warehouse, the Transport Office works closely with our centres and warehouse teams to ensure guests have access to vital goods and services. The Transport Office role is largely an administrative role covering the booking and distribution of transport jobs. However, the role also relies on working closely with drivers to allocate jobs and problem solve when needed

Skills and experience we are looking for 

• Good basic IT skills (including Google Suite and Microsoft Teams) 
• Strong communication skills
• Confident problem-solving ability

The role will be based in our warehouse in Canning Town.
