Retail Customer Assistant

Raigmore Hospital, Inverness

Part-time / Permanent

Overview

Royal Voluntary Service hospital cafés, shops and trolleys are part of the fabric of the NHS and a real asset in their own right. Staffed by employees and volunteers, we provide an outstanding range of beverages and healthy food choices. Our customers love the fact that the money they spend with us pays for volunteer action in hospitals and the community.

The Role

Working alongside a friendly team, you will participate in the day-to-day running of our busy shop in Raigmore Hospital.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

Working Hours

This is a permanent, part-time role working 7 hours per week, Mondays and Fridays, 3pm until 6:30pm.

What you’ll need

Working in a hospital requires a special kind of customer service. Your ability to communicate with a variety of people in a friendly and cheerful way will make a real difference to someone’s day. The key is to adapt your approach to each person to ensure their needs are met.

- The ability to deliver excellent customer service
- A flexible approach towards working hours
- Enjoying working within a passionate team as well as working on your own on occasions
