Key Holder Volunteer - Llandudno

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 lead the shop volunteer team when the manager’s not in work to make sure our customers are getting the best shopping experience possible. It’s all about making sure that the shop’s running smoothly, it looks good and there’s money being made. You’ll also be opening and closing the shop and completing the banking and shop admin as well as stock handling and managing our security processes. So, it really is a role where you’ll get loads of retail management experience.

What will I be doing?

      Opening and closing the shop

      Complete the banking and shop admin

      Communicating with a wide range of people

      Serving customers at the till

      Accepting donations from the public

      Putting goods on display in the shop

      Maintaining high levels of shop standards, presentation, and cleanliness

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

      Completing Gift Aid shop paperwork

      Carrying out shop security procedures

      Promoting awareness of the charity and the services that we provide

What skills do I need?

      Leadership experience in a retail environment

      Customer service experience

      Fab communication skills both face to face and over the phone

      You know your way around a shop and how to run it well

      Good numeracy & cash handling skills

      Good admin skills

      You’re really organised and can do more than one thing at a time.

How much time do I need to commit?

We’d need you to give around 7.5 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?

      Boost your CV with retail management experience

      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

      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

Where will I be based?

In your local Tenovus Cancer Care shop
