This is a fantastic opportunity for a Retail Assistant to join the team at our popular charity shop in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. The shop has a great atmosphere, and our staff and volunteers pride themselves on offering a welcoming environment and excellent customer service.

As a member of the core shop team, you will help plan, deliver and oversee the daily activities of the shop, including rotas, donations, stock management and preparation, merchandising and visual display, promotional events and online sales.

The charity shop income directly helps the people Imago works with… Young Carers, disabled children, older people, Adult Carers and adults with complex needs. You’ll help promote these activities by engaging with customers and donors.
