Retail with heart? Yes please.
Our busy charity shop is looking for a Zero Hours Cover Supervisor to help create a welcoming space full of bargains, banter and brilliant finds.
More about the role
Customer service is at the heart of everything we do. You’ll ensure every visitor feels welcome – two-legged or four! – and that the shop is a friendly, inviting place to browse. You’ll also champion Blue Cross and the incredible work we do for pets and people whenever the opportunity arises.
On the sales side, you’ll drive Gift Aid sign-ups, process donations, price items to maximise fundraising and keep the shop floor looking its best. From eye-catching window displays to tidy rails and shelves, you’ll ensure everything is attractive, safe, and ready to sell. This new shop space is a great place to work, acting as a mini hub for stock, with plenty of treasures waiting to be discovered.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
