About the role

Furniture Repair Bank is a nonprofit effort that rescues worn, torn, and broken furniture from ending up in the landfill, restores its value and beauty, and provides it to people in need. Watch our video to learn more about our organization: Furniture Repair Bank feature on Seattle Channel We conduct furniture collection events at the North and South Transfer Stations three times monthly on Fridays or Saturdays, preventing furniture waste at the source. Dates will vary each month. Our truck, tents, and volunteers will be stationed outside the transfer station to divert residents who are planning to throw away usable furniture. Volunteer responsibilities include communicating the program to people lined up in their vehicles, and/or offloading furniture from the customer's vehicle. Volunteers may join for the collection events on-site at the Transfer Stations for a morning or afternoon shift. Sign up with a friend to make it social! Visit our volunteer portal to sign up today!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
