About The Role

Are you passionate about providing outstanding customer service and being part of a friendly, dynamic team? We're looking for a Retail Assistant to join us for 21 hours per week, helping visitors enjoy their experience and supporting our vibrant retail shop. This is a hands on role where no two days are the same, from assisting customers and guiding volunteers, to creating eye-catching displays and keeping stock looking its best.

The Arboretum is the UK's dedicated year-round centre of Remembrance and is part of the Royal British Legion. At its core, the Royal British Legion is a people-focused organisation. It's made up of individuals who are committed to doing their very best for others, while also making the most of the opportunities and experiences we provide.

You'll be the friendly face of our shop, welcoming visitors, sharing your knowledge, and promoting activities that help support our organisation. You'll also take pride in operating our retail till, handling transactions with care, and helping maximise sales opportunities. Working closely with our volunteer team, you'll play a key part in creating a positive and memorable visitor experience.

If you're enthusiastic, flexible, and love interacting with people, this is the perfect role for you. Join us and be part of a supportive team where your contributions really make a difference - helping visitors, supporting our shop, and making every visit special.

Please note that this role will be based onsite at the National Memorial Arboretum, Burton-on-Trent DE13 7AR. This is a part-time position for 3 days per week, with the flexibility to work any days across the week to suit both your schedule and the needs of the business.

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day's paid holiday per year (plus bank holidays), increasing to 29 days after 2 years and 30 days after 5 years. Plus the ability to buy up to 1 working week of additional leave
- Contributory pension scheme - min 2% employee contribution receives 6% employer contribution up to max of 10% employer contribution matched with 5% employee contribution
- Death-in-service Life Assurance, with a benefit of 3x annual salary

About the National Memorial Arboretum
The Arboretum is the UK's leading year-round centre of Remembrance and a proud part of the Royal British Legion. Spread across 150 acres, it is home to more than 350 memorials, including the nationally significant Armed Forces Memorial, paying tribute to the service and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve our country. The site is also filled with around 30,000 maturing trees and a wealth of wildlife, making it a beautiful and peaceful place to reflect. Each year, the Arboretum attracts around 300,000 visitors, many of whom attend over 200 events held throughout the year.

In March 2017, the National Memorial Arboretum opened its new award-winning Remembrance Centre, offering an even more powerful and immersive experience for all those who visit. This truly is a special place - a living memorial that honours the dedication and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community.
