Donation Specialist

Donation Specialist

Work Location : Augusta, Maine Part Time and Full Time shifts available! Goodwill stores handle hundreds of donations daily, and we are hiring quick-thinking, hard workers to perform light warehouse work. Donation Specialists greet donors, accept donations and then use light machinery to move heavy loads. Donation Specialists can also expect to sort donations by type and quality. Quick decision-making is a must. Goodwill NNE also expects Donation Specialists to be able to say, "no thank you" to items we cannot accept and politely explain why to each customer.

Job Duties : Imagine working in the "back room" of our store, where each day brings new challenges and experiences. You won't live the same day twice in this job.

• Inspect, accept, track, and sort donations into the correct value stream.
