Zero hours contract


Salary:
£13.45 per hour


Location:
Parsonage Street, Dursley


Closing date: 28th June 2024
We're recruiting a Standby Shop Assistant for
our wonderful shop in Dursley, a well-established shop in the heart of the community that's well supported by our fantastic customers and wonderful donations

  • Our generous supporters donate a mixture of clothes, books, toys, household goods and soft furnishings that we sell in our shops and online.

More about the role

  • As a Standby Shop Assistant you'll be working closely with the Shop Manager to achieve sales targets and maximise profits through savvy cost control and ensuring donated goods are priced just right to optimise sales.

  • Keeping the shop in tiptop shape is a priority, maintaining a full shop with adequate stock, operating the stock rotation system, and keeping the presentation and display standards high.

  • If you want to work in a role that makes a positive difference every day to the pets in our care then look no further. We are proud of our charity which has been working tirelessly since 1897 to help pets and invite you to join our team of dedicated people and continue to make history for many years to come.
