Job description

Resource Network Warehouse Mover/Driver – FT Hourly

Work Schedule: Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, alternating Saturdays 9am-12pm as scheduled

Department: Resource Network

Reports to: Resource Network Specialist – Furnish the Future and Warehouse

Vision: The HomeFront Resource Network Team believes that families need basic necessities to live a life with dignity. The Resource Network team works together to provide these items to HomeFront families by harnessing the caring and resources of our community. The Resource Network Team treats all clients, donors, colleagues, and volunteers with respect and values the important role each plays in making the Resource Network possible.

To achieve this vision, the HomeFront Resource Network values several principles:

Organization: Our community is incredibly generous and we are grateful for it. Managing the volume of donations given to HomeFront requires that our operation be ruthlessly organized and tidy. One unorganized day can lead to weeks of challenges. We will maintain a high standard of organization at all times.

Collaboration: No one component or team member of the Resource Network can function effectively without the others - clients, donors, colleagues, and volunteers. We understand that we can only be successful if we work well together.

Empowerment: Families often come to HomeFront after experiencing significant trauma in their lives. Part of our work is to restore our families’ sense of empowerment and choice and to offer clear guidelines on how to access goods and services through the Resource Network. We offer meaningful choice to our clients, honor their wishes, and make program guidelines transparent.

Outcomes: Our work is only effective if we are reaching families in need. We set and achieve ambitious goals to serve as many families as resources permit.
