Love retail and making a difference?

Our busy charity shop in Abergavenny is looking for a Zero Hours Cover Supervisor to help keep the shop running smoothly, support our volunteers, and welcome customers searching for their next great find. More about the role Customer service is at the heart of everything we do. You’ll ensure every visitor feels welcome – two-legged or four! – and that the shop is a friendly, inviting place to browse. You’ll also champion Blue Cross and the incredible work we do for pets and people whenever the opportunity arises.

If you have retail management experience, enjoy variety, and thrive in a community-driven environment, this is a role where you can make a real difference every day.

This is a zero-hours contract, which means your hours will vary based on the shop’s needs. For this role, the total hourly rate is £14.24, including additional elements like holiday pay.
