Do you love to shop online for pre-loved items or clothing, are all the best second-hand online platforms saved to your browser and do you champion shopping sustainably because it’s great for your bank balance and the planet? 

Our retail efforts play a vital role in funding our mission. From donated clothes and books to toys, household goods, and unique treasures, our shops – both physical and online – generate crucial income to help pets in need.

As an Online Shop Assistant and be part of our exciting e-commerce journey during a time of growth!

Based at our Retail Hub in Hartlebury, this role is full of variety and offers the chance to get involved in every step of our online sales process.

From researching and pricing items to creating eye-catching listings and photographing products, your work will help us showcase the best of what we have to offer. 

You’ll also play a key role in picking and packing items for distribution, ensuring our customers receive their orders quickly and efficiently. And, of course, you’ll be handling some of the daily admin and customer service tasks that keep everything running smoothly.

This is a zero-hours, which means your hours will vary based on the shop’s needs. We’re committed to paying the Real Living Wage, which is currently £12.21 per hour. For this role, the total hourly rate is £13.69, including additional elements like holiday pay.

If you love variety, have an eye for detail, and enjoy a fast-paced, hands-on role, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for an organised and proactive individual who thrives both independently and as part of a team. You’ll have strong time management skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and the flexibility to prioritise tasks effectively in a dynamic environment.

Living our Blue Cross values of compassion, courage, and inclusivity will be at the heart of everything you do. You’ll share our commitment to improving the lives of pets and people, while demonstrating a passion for learning and personal development.
