Throughout the year we have various vacancies across our network of retail shops including shop floor vacancies working on the till, merchandising and window displays, and back office vacancies to help with sorting and pricing.
Our Sales Assistant Volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our shop. You will be greeting customers, helping them find the items they’re looking for and answering their questions, with help on hand from the shop team. You will provide invaluable help in the running of the shop, keeping it stocked and attractively displayed.
We have shops in Heywood, Middleton, Rochdale, Milnrow, Littleborough and The Springhill Home & Furniture unit.
Volunteers are welcome from age 16 and older
