Retail Sales Assistant

Mrs Bumbleberry’s Lolly Shop Volunteers will enrich the experience of visiting The Arts Centre by being part of a welcoming, creative and very yummy place to visit.

The role would suit anyone who has an outgoing, confident personality, and enjoys chatting to everyone as visitors always appreciate advice about what to see and do here.

Shop Volunteers should have a positive attitude and be keen to make all visitors feel welcome. You must be confident working on your own and with money, be punctual and organised.

We are open 7 days a week and volunteer shifts are: 10:30-1:30pm and 1:30-4:30. We provide training and ongoing support in all areas of the role. Volunteer shifts are available weekdays and weekends.

We would also love to hear from anyone wanting a more casual role rather than a regular rostered shift to help out at short notice or when there is an upcoming gap in the roster. We are looking for people who have a morning or afternoon free once a week and really enjoy engaging with the public, sharing information about the site as well as selling them a tasty, sweet treat.

We prefer a minimum 6-month commitment, but cover is provided for illness and planned holidays. It is not the ideal role if you are in the process of looking for work or back to work experience but rather for those who already have an established routine and are looking to add a little something extra.

Mrs Bumbleberry’s Lolly Shop is located on the ground floor of the old Boys’ High building. A car park on site for your shift is available if needed. We also have secure bicycle parking.

If you love The Arts Centre’s old buildings and want to contribute to their ongoing upkeep and the public programmes we offer, this is a great way to support as all profits go back into helping fund these ongoing costs. Upon receiving your referral, we will send the role description to you. Training will be held as soon as possible thereafter. When applying, share with us a short paragraph about why you are interested in the role, what you are doing currently, and a CV (if you have one).
