Full Job Description
As a Sales Assistant you'll be at the very heart of our retail operation. This is not just a standing behind the till or filling shelves type of role, we're looking for someone who will deliver a first class customer service experience. It's a fun, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and everyone works as a team.

You will be given lots of autonomy in your role and will strive to continually build your knowledge of BHF.
- Previous retail experience isn't essential. What truly counts is your passion, energy, and ability to deliver the very best customer service.
- You'll be confident within a team environment and comfortable guiding the activity of volunteers on the shop floor
- Able to work well under pressure and on your own initiative in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
- Attention to detail in everything you do
- Positive, creative, confident, customer service focussed and passionate about sustainability
- You'll be comfortable with tech, able to use a Till, PC, Smartphone and e-mail with ease.
