Re-use Co-ordinator

**Hours: 37 per week**

**Contract Type: Fixed Term until 31/3/25**

**Service Area: Place Management**

**Department: Strategy & Contracts**

We are looking for a confident, customer focused team player to oversee the daily operation of our Reuse Shop in Keynsham.

Positioned at the entrance to the public Reuse and Recycling Centre, the shop sells donated second hand reusable items at affordable prices to the local community, along with working with local charities to divert items of use.

As the Reuse Coordinator, you will be responsible for the daily running of the shop. Ideally, you’ll have previous experience in customer focused work to bring to this role, but more importantly a real interest in sustainability and an enthusiasm for saving items from waste.

This is a varied role which requires an organised individual, comfortable using a computer.

You’ll take the lead on checking and processing donated items efficiently, operate our cashless payment system, catalogue goods and capture basic data, whilst also overseeing the tasks of the wider shop team and volunteers.

We are seeking a Reuse Coordinator on a 12-month fixed term basis initially.

If you are passionate about sustainability, reuse and recycling, and can provide excellent customer service then why not come and join us? Our aim is to ensure nothing is needlessly wasted.

You will be based at the Keynsham Reuse and Recycling Centre, which is an operational waste depot. Your standard working hours will be 8am - 4pm Tuesday to Friday and 9am - 3.30pm on Saturday’s, with some flexibility as required.

Your main place of work will be Pixash Lane, Keynsham.
