Do you enjoy staying active, being on your feet, and making a real impact every day?

If so, DEBRA Brighton wants you on our team!

We’re looking for a Sales Assistant who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in – whether it’s helping customers, lifting stock, or keeping the shop floor looking its best. This is more than just a retail job – it’s a chance to support a life-changing cause.

Why Join DEBRA?

DEBRA is the national charity supporting individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a painful genetic skin condition. Every sale you make helps fund vital care, support, and pioneering research. You’ll be part of a passionate, inclusive team that truly cares.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Delivering top-notch customer service with a smile
• Operating tills and handling transactions accurately
• Creating eye-catching displays and keeping the shop floor tidy
• Lifting, sorting, and pricing donated stock – often physically demanding
• Promoting Gift Aid and encouraging donations
• Working closely with volunteers and supporting the Shop Manager
• Helping with stock movement, sometimes up and down stairs
• Ensuring health and safety standards are always met

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous retail experience in a busy environment
• A team player with great communication skills
• Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling
• Flexible to work weekends and bank holidays
• Positive, proactive, and ready to make a difference

What We Offer:

• Auto-enrolment pension with DEBRA contribution
• Life assurance and employee assistance programme
• Generous training budget and career progression
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (pro rata), with long service rewards
• Staff discount and personalised recognition awards
• Opportunities for apprenticeships and internships
