- Be enthusiastic and energetic, passionate about the values, vision and purpose of CHAS
- Deliver excellent customer service and enjoy working in retail
- Have excellent communication and inter-personal skills to build effective relationships with staff, volunteers and the general public
About CHAS
At CHAS, our ambition is to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying, and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together.
