Are you a Shop Assistant looking for a great place to reach your full potential?

At the National Animal Welfare Trust, we never stop caring for our animals and people. As a rescue and rehoming charity, operating five rehoming centres and three shops across the south of England, we are committed to improving the lives of our communities’ pets, helping around 1,500 animals each year.

We need an enthusiastic Shop Assistant to join our friendly team on a six month contract at our Woburn Sands shop in Bedfordshire and make a difference.

**About the role**:
This position is 14 hours a week working on a Thursday and Saturday, with some variation.

Full of pre-loved clothing, accessories, gifts and more, you will work collaboratively with volunteers to ensure excellent customer service.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

- Using your customer service skills to make sure our customers and supporters feel appreciated and can find what they need.
- Processing sales through the till.
- Overseeing the store and the shop volunteers in the Shop Manager's absence.
- Preparing large quantities of donated items for sale including the lifting, sorting, steaming and pricing of items to achieve optimum income.
- Using your creativity to help maintain attractive shop window displays.
- Rotating stock between the shop and the storage container, involving daily lifting and moving of stock and transportation of donations.
- To identify higher value items to list on eBay.

**About you**:
You will have a positive, can-do attitude, be honest and reliable. You will be good humoured and have the customer and the charity at the heart of everything you do. You will be commercially aware, driven and hands on to maximise profits, helping us to raise valuable funds.

- 25 days annual leave plus statutory bank holidays (pro-rated for part time staff).
- Contributory pension.
- Access to a free 24/7 support service providing support including legal, financial, emotional and medical advice.
