Job description

Why am I needed?

Community is at the heart of everything that we do at Tenovus Cancer Care to help those affected by cancer. Our aim is simple – to deliver a vision where fewer people get cancer and those that do receive equal access to excellent treatment. However, we can’t do this without your help. Our shops in local communities are crucial to us raising vital funds. So, we’d like you to volunteer your time and commitment to help us make a difference. We need you to help process our stock donations ready for the shop floor.

 

What will I be doing?

     Accepting donations from the public

     Sorting through donation bags

     Hanging, ticketing and steaming stock

     Cleaning and processing non-clothing stock

     Maintaining high levels of stock room standards

     Generating add-on sales and Gift Aid conversion through high levels of customer service

     Completing Gift Aid shop paperwork

     Promoting awareness of the charity and the services that we provide

What skills do I need?

     A really keen eye for detail

     An interest in one of our product areas

     Ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team

     Ability to communicate effectively with other members of the team and customers.

 

 

 

How much time do I need to commit?

We’d need you to give around three hours per week if you can with the possibility to do more if you’d like to. However, we appreciate any time you’d like to give; please let us know this on your application form.

 

What support will I be given?

     Before starting with Tenovus Cancer Care, we ask that you visit the Shop Management team in the shop so we can both see how the role may suit you.

     Following that the Shop Manager and team will be on hand to advise and help you select products you can use.

     Becoming a volunteer with Tenovus Cancer Care can be a rewarding experience and is certainly invaluable to the charity and its goals.

 

What benefits can I expect?

     Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed in line with organisational policy

     The satisfaction of knowing you’re making a vital difference to the work of Tenovus Cancer Care, and in particular the people who access our unique services

     The opportunity to be creative and bring new ideas to the shop whilst developing your creative and design skills

     The opportunity to develop new and existing skills

     Access to all internal vacancies

     Access to training

     The enjoyment of meeting new people and being part of our Retail Team

     The chance to gain experience of helping Wales’ leading cancer charity.

 

Where will I be based?

In your local Tenovus Cancer Care shop
