Shop and retail jobs

Each shop has it’s own manager, a team of dedicated volunteers and up to three other paid members of staff according to it’s size.

Stock Collectors
The Stock Collector is the first point of contact and is therefore the ambassador for the company. At the direction of a designated Area Retail Manager (ARM) and Shop Manager, the main task is to deliver leaflets and collection sacks to private homes requesting donations of stock, and to return at a later date to collect the goods and re-distribute them to shops within the area.

The Sales & Stock Assistants support the shop management team in maximising sales and reducing losses by providing a professional approach to both customer service and stock handling at all times.
You will be a confident individual who enjoys meeting and greeting the general public and who appreciates the value of teamwork and good customer care. It would be desirable for the post holder to have a current driving licence and be a car owner, but not essential. It may occasionally be necessary to travel for meetings/training sessions which from time to time may involve overnight stays away from the home base.
Volunteers
All of these positions are supported from our Head Office with Divisional Managers and Trainers working out in the stores to offer assistance and maximise each shops sales potential.
The work of each shop is invaluable to the work and survival of each PetAid hospital, so if you want to work in retail and want to make a difference to the lives of sick and injured pets then we want to hear from you!&
