Shop volunteers - League of Friends St Helier Hospital

Acting as a retail assistant in our hospital shop.

About the Organisation

The League of Friends is a much-valued part of life at St Helier Hospital, raising funds to benefit the Trust by running a range of services for patients, visitors and staff.

What you will be doing

As a retail assistant, you will be serving customers in our hospital shop. This includes:
 
  • using the electronic till and payment system
  • restocking shelves
  • tidying the storeroom
  • keeping the shop clean

and any other aspect of shop work.

When urgent need arises, you may be asked to assist the Cafe in its operations, with e.g. the till and washing up.

What's in it for you?

A sense of being useful and helping someone, making a difference. Although we have mainly visitors and staff using the shop, we also have contact with patients and have to remember that patients are here for a reason, so giving a friendly smile and word to patients can help to keep them calm. 

What skills will you need?

All we ask is that you are reliable, friendly and smile.
