At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.
We’re looking for a proactive stock processor to join Cancer Research UK’s trading team. You’ll be acting as an ambassador for Cancer Research UK, taking care of pre-loved items and getting them ready for their new home.
In a lively, vibrant working environment, you’ll discover something new every day, whether it’s a new high street trend, a new community network or a talent you never knew you had.
You’ll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are.
What will I be doing?
- Processing and looking after new and donated stock. This includes keeping on top of stock rotation and replenishment, pricing, steaming and tagging.
- Assisting the store team in achieving sales and fundraising targets.
- Supporting the training of colleagues and volunteers in stock processing.
- Ensuring standards of safeguarding, compliance, security and health and safety are followed.
- Using your customer service skills to make sure our customers and supporters feel welcome and appreciated.
What skills are you looking for?
- Experience working in a busy customer-facing environment.
- Adaptability to changing situations.
- A proactive mindset.
- The ability to manage your own workload and work independently and as part of a team.
- A positive approach to building relationships with community members.
- And ideally, experience working in a retail environment, and experience of working to sales and profit targets.
Our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. Whilst a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.
