Shop Floor Assistant - East Port

CHAS cares for children throughout Scotland and they're here for the whole family. Whether at home, in hospital, or visiting their hospices, they give families the care and support they need, when they need it.

CHAS runs a number of charity shops across Scotland, selling donated stock as well as new goods to raise the vital funds required to care for children and their families. You will be volunteering within their retail team, assisting with the day to day running of the shop floor and providing excellent customer service.

This opportunity is at their East Port Boutique Shop in Dunfermline, which specialises in ladies and menswear. You will volunteer with a small team, welcome customers into the shop, serve at the till and register donors for gift aid. If you enjoy keeping busy while having a laugh with a great team, this opportunity is for you!


Experience required

It would be great if you have good communication and customer service skills. It is important that you work well in a team and you share the same values with the organisation: respect, care honesty and accountability.

Travel details

This will be based in the CHAS East Port shop in the city centre. The shop is easily accessible by public transport or free car parking nearby. 32-34 East Port, Dunfermline KY12 7JB
