Sales Assistant, Fairfield (15 hpw)

We’re looking for a Sales Assistant with a passion for pre-loved goods to support the team at our Fairfield Store !

 

This is an exciting time to be joining our retail team as we embark on ambitious plans to renovate our stores. By adding a little love to our pre-loved shops, we hope to not only increase vital income, but elevate the shopping experience for our community. As one of the Hospice’s 11 charity shops, our Fairfield store plays a crucial role in funding our award-winning wellbeing and palliative care services.

 

What does the Sales Assistant role involve?

The Sales Assistant plays a key role in the day-to-day running of a preloved retail store, supporting the delivery of sales targets, excellent customer service, and high retail standards.

 

As a Key Holder, the post holder will take responsibility for opening and closing the store when needed, ensuring security, and supporting the smooth operation of the shop in the absence of senior managers. The role contributes to the organisation’s Seven S’s:

 

Sales - Service - Staff - Standards - Stock - Safety - Stock Loss


 On a typical day you will:

  • Support the management team in the smooth running of the shop
  • Drive sales and promote Gift Aid to reach maximum revenue potential
  • Maintain a high standard of display, presentation and cleanliness throughout the shop.

 

This is a part-time role of 15 hours/2 days per week including Saturday or Sunday. Candidates should be flexible as there may be the need to work in other shop locations as required.

 
What skills are we looking for?
  • Confidence working in a customer facing role
  • Be proactive, driven and commercially aware
  • Aspire to the Charity’s ethos and values.
