Retail Customer Assistant
Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge

Overview

Royal Voluntary Service hospital cafés, shops and trolleys are part of the fabric of the NHS and a real asset in their own right. Staffed by employees and volunteers, we provide an outstanding range of beverages and healthy food choices. Our customers love the fact that the money they spend with us pays for volunteer action in hospitals and the community.

The Role

Working alongside a friendly team, you will participate in the day-to-day running of our three busy café outlets in Addenbrooke's Hospital.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

 •  Providing a friendly, helpful and efficient service at all times
 •  Welcoming customers, informing them about specials or new products, answering questions and accepting orders and payments
 •  Preparing hot and cold drinks
 •  Serving freshly made food such as cake, sandwiches and pastries
 •  Operating the till and cashing up
 •  Maintaining a high level of cleanliness, complying with Health and Safety and food hygiene standards and ensuring all areas of the site remain tidy

Our retail sites can be open on weekends and bank holidays. There may also be opportunities for paid overtime in busy periods or to cover absence.

What you’ll need

Working in a hospital requires a special kind of customer service. Your ability to communicate with a variety of people in a friendly and cheerful way will make a real difference to someone’s day. The key is to adapt your approach to each person to ensure their needs are met.

 •  Previous experience in a retail or cafe environment would be an advantage but training will be given - just make sure you have a positive attitude and can-do mindset along with a willingness to work and we’ll teach you the rest

 •  Familiarity with email and the internet
 •  A flexible approach towards working hours
 •  Enjoying working within a passionate team as well as working on your own on occasions
 •  Knowledge of EPOS systems would be advantageous

We’re proud to be in the top 25 not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK, based on ratings from Indeed. As a valued employee at Royal Voluntary Service, you will benefit from:

 •  Salary of £11.72 per hour
 •  26 days’ holiday (pro rata) plus paid statutory Bank Holidays (pro rata)
 •  Ten weeks’ company sick pay following successful completion of probation
 •  A great pension scheme
 •  2 x Salary Death in Service Benefit, subject to qualification
 •  Enhanced Family Leave schemes
 •  An employee benefits package that gives access to an exclusive rewards website to get discounts and cashback online
 •  A 24-hour doctor line, financial support with dental/optical and other therapies
 •  A free and confidential employee assistance programme with up to six face-to-face counselling sessions included
 •  Extensive online and on the job training to ensure you will succeed in your role
 •  Opportunities to discuss flexible working
 •  Opportunities to develop new skills and progress your career
 •  The chance to make a positive, lasting impact that changes lives, communities and society
