Department: Reuse Shop, Keynsham
We have exciting plans in place to open a new Reuse Shop at our Keynsham Recycling Centre this Autumn.
To support this new initiative, we’re keen to recruit a number of Sales Assistants on a casual basis to work with us as needed.
We are looking for support on Thursday, Friday and especially Saturdays initially.
Positioned at the entrance to our new public Reuse and Recycling Centre in Keynsham, the shop will sell donated second hand reusable items at affordable prices, along with working with local charities and council services to divert items of use where most needed.
Our main aim is to ensure nothing is needlessly wasted.
Confident at approaching and speaking to members of the public, you’ll help customers find items, support them to make self-serve card payments and help to keep our shop clean and fully stocked.
