Galashiels, United Kingdom Borders Pet Rescue Full time

Borders Pet Rescue is a long-established animal welfare charity that cares for animals in need and finds them suitable loving new homes. We also work to encourage responsible pet ownership. Since becoming a registered charity 33 years ago we have re-homed thousands of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and exotics throughout the Scottish Borders and beyond.

Our four charity shops, in Galashiels, Duns, Kelso and Hawick, play a key part in helping to fund the day-to-day operating costs of the Rescue Centre at Earlston. They provide a focal point for the communities they serve, helping to promote the charity and our vital work. The ambition is for our shops to generate significantly more commercial income to support future plans for our Rescue Centre.

Our Borders Pet Rescue Galashiels Shop is an important part of the local community selling clothes, CD’s, DVD’s, furniture, books, pictures, electrical goods, and many other items to support its business. Working alongside the Manager, Assistant Manager, staff, and volunteers, the Charity Retail Assistant is vital to ensuring the success of the shop by providing customers with a positive experience, keeping stock levels replenished throughout the day to support the continual generation of sales. With a focus on delivering an excellent customer service and maximising sales and revenues you will have good numeracy, verbal, and written communication skills. A physically demanding role, but in return it is a satisfying and rewarding opportunity to improve the lives of animals in need.
