Rotherham, United Kingdom Grimm & Co Full time

**Retail Assistant**

We are looking for an experienced retail assistant to work in our wonderful shop - The Apothecary to the Magical. Our products are a little strange, witty, funny, practical, beautiful and fun, but best of all the proceeds are used to support the charity.

Grimm & Co is a Yorkshire charity, based in Rotherham, that supports children and young people to make meaning of the world around them and build a positive narrative for themselves within it through the joyful discovery of stories.

Our Emporium of Stories is an enchanting story destination with a Book Nook, Apothecary to the Magical, a story market, the Feastery (serving story-themed food and drink) and secret doors that hide beanstalks and writing/theatre spaces, where imaginations are ignited for children and young people to bring stories to life.
- “Our Y4 children have loved every minute of it. It has been amazing to see the children grow in confidence and flourish and thrive with their creativity. There is such power in the words we choose and how we choose to say them. Creativity gives our children a voice, a voice to be heard and a voice that brings light into their world and light up other people's worlds. I am immensely proud of them and of you all for your hard work and dedication. So, a big thank you.”_
- Headteacher, Rawmarsh Ashwood Primary School_
- Spoken Word Power project, 2023._
