What will I be doing?
Through our waste contract with Greater Manchester Combined Authority, SUEZ has committed to setting up re-use shops at our Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) to resell donated items and generate £300,000 annually for reinvestment in social projects in Greater Manchester.
As a shop operative, you will be responsible for the daily operation of our re-use shop at Middlemore Lane, Walsall HWRC, working closely with the re-use hub manager to ensure the shop is well-stocked and items are properly stored or prepared for sale.
This role involves:
* Merchandising stock, organizing, preparing, pricing, and presenting donations for sale to boost sales and enhance customer satisfaction.
* Managing stock levels and communicating with the re-use hub manager about stock needs.
* Operating the cash register, handling cash and credit card transactions, and processing returns and refunds.
* Selling goods at appropriate prices and disposing of rejected items properly.
* Arranging collections and deliveries efficiently and cost-effectively.
* Maintaining the security of the shop, stock, and cash.
You will also promote the values of the shop and the charitable nature of the re-use scheme in Greater Manchester, providing excellent customer service to encourage repeat business and ensure the shop's smooth and profitable operation.
What are the requirements?
You should be passionate about the environment and the re-use project, with prior retail experience and a strong enthusiasm for customer service.
Knowledge of recycling and upcycling is desirable, or willingness to develop this understanding. You should have experience in stock management, merchandising, and handling financial aspects of retail, along with:
* A flexible approach to shift work and weekends.
* The confidence to work alone initially in the re-use shop until volunteers are recruited.
* Strong teamwork skills to collaborate with site staff at HWRCs.
