We’re hiring for several roles at our new hub in Hounslow

Our dream is that every child in the capital has the essential things they need to thrive, and that everyone can play a part in achieving that goal.
Are you passionate about tackling child poverty and motivated by Little Village’s values of Love, Solidarity, Thriving and Sustainability? Do you believe in our model of bringing families together to help each other? Would you enjoy working in the fast-paced environment of a small, ambitious and relatively new organisation?
At the heart of Little Village is the regifting of pre-loved baby equipment, clothes and toys onto other families. To allow us to do that, we need a steady flow of good quality donated kit, which needs to be checked, sorted and organised within our new Hounslow hub, ready for delivery to families. The Hounslow hub will support our other London hubs, store seasonal stock and big kit (beds, buggies and highchairs). We will also direct-despatch bundles to families throughout London using couriers and volunteer drivers.
The Hounslow hub is a new development for Little Village, and we are looking for enthusiastic, highly motivated individuals who are willing to get stuck in and work proactively and flexibly to help build the operation.
