What do we want you to do?

We would love you to help us in what could be described as the most popular part of every child’s visit to YMCA Fairthorne Manor.  Our tuck shop serves a range of souvenirs, ice creams and goodies of both a healthy and more sugary nature.  This is a fast-paced area which requires a good head for maths but gives you the opportunity to interact with the hundreds of children who visit us each year.

We want you if…..

  • You like working in a retail environment and have good numeracy skills
  • You have a sense of fun
  • You want to make a difference to our community
  • You love the idea of making the children and families time in our environment something they will remember forever
  • You are willing to follow YMCA Fairthorne Group procedures and complete a DBS check

What you get in return?

  • A chance to support children and families in our local community to live happy and healthy lives
  • Develop skills and a chance to enhance your CV
  • Join a great team of like-minded people
  • The opportunity to learn about and be part of a huge international YMCA movement

What is the time commitment required?

The time commitment is flexible, the tuck shop is generally open Monday – Friday and is also open during some weekends during larger events.  Whether you can offer a regular weekly commitment or occasional support we would be interested in talking to you.

Safer recruitment processes
