Your day-to-day

You will become a key contributor to the day-to-day operations of our Op Shops. A typical day may be very physically demanding, and will involve sorting and processing donations, merchandising, operating the point of sale, assisting with supervising volunteers and having a laugh with the team.

Every day will be interesting and your previous experience in other Op Shops or second-hand stores will be a valuable asset, as you’ll already know different ways you can optimise our sales.

Your “hands-on” approach and safety focus will allow you to lead by example in manual handling and the more physical aspects of sorting, moving and arranging donations. You’ll be supervising a number of staff and volunteers, creating a fantastic culture within the store and having a laugh with the team.

  • Experienced in an op shop or retail outlet in fashion and/or interior design
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Experienced with maintaining OH&S standards
  • High level interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated experience working collaboratively with others
  • Ability to participate collaboratively and constructively within teams of peers, staff and other stakeholders, as well using initiative and effective personal judgement when working alone
  • Has volunteer management experience (highly desirable).

You can look forward to

  • Permanent part time role, 41 hours per fortnight.

  • A bustling store, where you’ll never be bored
  • Using your knowledge of brands to grow the business and impact on Sacred Hearts social mission
