Our stores all have large amounts of good quality, donated furniture which need to be displayed and merchandised in order for customers to get a positive experience when visiting the store, and for furniture to be sold effectively. Volunteers with a background in retail merchandising, or a creative background, can support the merchandising of our stock, and the presentation of our store.

Responsibilities:
• Merchandising and presenting the furniture in our store, including creating special displays and maintaining general appearance of store
• Communicating with warehouse store volunteers about which furniture should be moved and set up where, to create eye-catching and attractive displays
• Polite, friendly and helpful customer support and service when on the shop floor

What you’ll get from us:
• Full training in health and safety, and role specific skills
• Support and mentorship from a member of our team
• A focus on skills and employability development, if this is something you would like, through 1-1 catch ups to support skills development
• Feeling like part of the CFS team, and seeing the impact of your work on customer experience and sales
• Relevant PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), includes steel capped boots for work in the warehouse

• Those interested in future employment in: retail merchandising, design & creative fields
• Those with a background in retail merchandising or creative fields looking to share these skills as part of a voluntary role
• Anybody willing to learn, support, and be part of the CFS team
