Job description

At SPCA, our Op Shops do more than offer great second-hand finds – they help fund the care and protection of animals across New Zealand. Every purchase and donation helps us give animals in need a better life.

We're looking for a reliable and enthusiastic Casual Op Shop Assistant to join our Pukekohe team. You'll help keep the shop running smoothly, from welcoming customers and processing donations to merchandising stock and supporting our volunteers.

This role will be based at our Pukekohe Op Shop, with flexibility to provide cover across our Papakura and Takanini Op Shops as needed. Hours will be offered on a casual, as-required basis to cover leave, busy periods and weekends, so flexibility and availability are important.

Please note: Due to the casual, on-call nature of this role and the need to provide flexible cover across multiple locations, this opportunity is best suited to someone with availability during weekdays and weekends, including at short notice. The role won't be suitable for those whose availability is restricted by school or university commitments.

The key details:

• Hours: Casual, as required, including leave cover, busy periods and weekends
• Location: Pukekohe, with flexibility to work across Papakura and Takanini
• Experience: Minimum of 1 year of retail experience essential

• Replenish stock and create appealing displays.
• Help provide cover and basic team supervision when required.
• Travel between our Pukekohe, Papakura and Takanini Op Shops to provide cover as needed.

You're practical, dependable and enjoy working in a busy retail environment. You're comfortable taking initiative, working independently and getting stuck into whatever needs doing. Just as importantly, you're happy to pitch in wherever you're needed and work flexibly across multiple locations.

What we're looking for:

• At least 1 year of retail experience is essential, with charity retail experience an advantage.
• Flexibility to work on call and at short notice, including weekends and across multiple shop locations.
• Confidence working independently and taking responsibility for shop operations when working sole charge.
• A hands-on approach to customer service, sales, stock processing and merchandising.

• Confidence using POS systems, email and basic computer applications.
• A genuine interest in supporting SPCA's animal welfare work.
