Cancer Research UK is looking for a hard-working and enthusiastic Shop Assistant to work alongside our Shop Manager to support real commercial success in our Stevenage Shop.

Cancer Research UK is leading pioneering, life-saving research and our long-term ambition is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. We wouldn’t be able to achieve this without our 500+ shops across the UK. Every step we make towards beating cancer relies on every pound, every hour and every person, and our 1,100 retail staff work relentlessly every day towards this goal.

As a Shop Assistant you’ll be responsible for handling sales at the till and encouraging and sorting donations. You will ensure a high standard in merchandising and housekeeping within the shop. You will be an integral part of the team; motivating and supporting colleagues and volunteers when requested.

We are looking for people who can be flexible and can work occasional overtime, including on days that are not your normal working days and in shops within a reasonable travelling distance, as required. You’ll love working with people and creating a pleasant and helpful experience for your customers and colleagues. If you enjoy all this and more, you’ll have a great career as we work towards our vision of bringing forward the day when all cancers are cured.
