The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is looking for two Retail Sales Assistants to work at Shakespeare's Birthplace Shop on Henley Street and Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shottery, Stratford-upon-Avon. You will work on average 24.5 hours per week, 28 hours one week, which equates to 4 days, and 21 hours the following week, which equates to 3 days.

Day-to-day tasks will involve advising and serving customers, dealing with retail deliveries, cleaning and merchandising of displays, adding value to customers' purchases and experiences, and advising prospective visitors of the Trust's offer.

Previous retail experience is preferential. Excellent customer service, an enquiring mind and an outgoing personality are essential.
