Are you over 15 years, enjoy chatting to customers and being part of a team? 

We are looking for people to help customers with their purchases and be an excellent ambassador for Children's Hospice South West.

Tasks may include:

  • Providing friendly customer service
  • Scanning and operating an easy to use Epos system
  • Handling cash, cheques and credit card purchases
  • Keeping the shop tidy and clean 
  • Encouraging donators to gift aid their donations
  • Giving people a greater understanding of the work of CHSW 
  • Helping to maximise sales
  • Promoting CHSW fundraising events
  • Being an excellent ambassador for CHSW

What we're looking for?

No qualifications or experience needed but the following skills would be helpful:

  • Good customer service 
  • Happy to be part of a team 
  • Able to lift small bags
  • A helpful caring manner
  • Honest, reliable, trustworthy with a flexible approach 
  • Respectful of others

Training

Full training will be given therefore no specific qualifications are needed.

It is entirely up to you how much time you want to give. You may choose to do a morning or afternoon, a full day, or a couple of shifts a week. 

You will be volunteering with like-minded people, providing you with lots of social interaction, meeting new friends, learning new skills or using existing ones and gaining a new experience. You will receive regular updates from CHSW and be invited to open days and events. Above all you will be making a vital contribution to a much needed cause.
