Join Us in Making Every Moment Matter
At our hospice, every role plays a part in providing exceptional care and comfort to patients and their families. If you're caring, compassionate, and committed to making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Make a difference through charity retail.
Enjoy working with people and have an eye for a great find? We have two vacancies for Retail Assistants (Bank) to join Woking & Sam Beare Hospices to help our charity shops generate income to support palliative care in the community.
These mobile roles provide cover across our shops, usually 7.5 hours per day, with shifts across Monday-Sunday, according to organisational staffing needs. Working alongside staff and volunteers, and independently when required, you will help keep our shops welcoming, well-presented and running smoothly.
What you will do
· Provide friendly customer service and support the Shop Manager with daily operations and sales targets.
· Sort donations, research and price goods, create appealing displays and rotate stock.
· Promote Gift Aid and Hospice fundraising activities and refer high-value donations to our E-Commerce team.
· Support volunteers and help maintain a safe shop environment, following health and safety and fire safety procedures.
What you will bring
· Experience in retail or a service setting, including customer service, and experience of working in a team.
· Clear communication, good organisation and the ability to build positive relationships with customers, donors, staff and volunteers.
· GCSE English and Maths, or equivalent qualifications, basic IT skills and confidence in calculating and recording basic sums accurately.
· Flexibility to work across shop locations and different days and hours, and a full, valid driving licence.
· The ability to lift and move donated goods, including furniture, using safe handling practices and with reasonable adjustments where needed.
· A commitment to Hospice values and our purpose of supporting palliative care in the community.
Experience with volunteers or in charity retail, an understanding of Gift Aid and an eye for merchandising would be welcome but are not essential. Full training is provided.
Bring your customer service skills to a role with purpose and help turn donated goods into support for your community.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are committed to providing reasonable adjustments where needed throughout the recruitment process. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to close the vacancy at an earlier date.
