We’re looking for a motivated retail assistant to join Cancer Research UK’s trading team. You’ll be acting as an ambassador for Cancer Research UK and taking responsibility for the shop on a Sunday.

You’ll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are.

What will I be doing?
- Overseeing the running of the shop on a Sunday. This includes taking keyholder responsibility (training provided) and supporting a talented and diverse team of volunteers.
- Assisting the wider shop team in achieving sales and fundraising targets.
- Reviewing and processing donated goods and new stock.
- Coming up with creative ideas to help generate new income, with guidance from the Shop Manager.
- Using your customer service skills to make sure our customers and supporters feel welcome and appreciated.
- Maintaining shop standards regarding safeguarding, compliance and health and safety.

What skills are you looking for?
- A working knowledge of what makes great customer service.
- Experience of working in a lively and vibrant environment.
- Adaptability in changing situations, including being able to work effectively independently and as part of a team.
- Commercial awareness.
- The ability to create relationships and communicate well.
- And ideally experience of working in, or an understanding of retail and fashion.

Our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. Whilst a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.
