You will be given lots of autonomy in your role and will strive to continually build your knowledge of BHF.

What are we looking for?

Previous retail experience isn’t essential. What truly counts is your passion, energy, and ability to deliver the very best customer service. You’ll be confident within a team environment and comfortable guiding the activity of volunteers on the shop floor Able to work well under pressure and on your own initiative in a dynamic and fast-paced environment Attention to detail in everything you do Positive, creative, confident, customer service focussed and passionate about sustainability You’ll be comfortable with tech, able to use a Till, PC, Smartphone and e-mail with ease.

What’s important to us?

At the British Heart Foundation (BHF) we offer a huge range of new and used quality furniture, clothing, jewellery and more, available in store and online.

In addition to raising funds for the BHF, we connect with our local communities and help reduce clothing and furniture waste across the UK. With over 700 stores we make a huge environmental impact by preventing around 70,000 tonnes of unwanted items going to landfill every year. We receive 1.6 million items donated to our home stores and 9.8 million bags of donated items and will continue to build upon our reuse agenda in the years to come.

Everything we do comes back to funding lifesaving research for all heart and circulatory conditions. We are more ambitious and determined than ever – because the cures and treatments we need are in sight. You could be part of getting us there sooner
