Retail Administration Assistant

20 hours per week

Who are we?

Located in the heart of Manchester, The Union is part business, part charity, part membership body. Operating independently from Manchester Metropolitan University, our aim is to support and represent each one of our student members. Our staff work alongside elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and help fulfil student potential.

The Union is one of 550 students’ unions across the country. And we’re one of the most exciting – with over 36,000 student members and 100 student groups, a huge range of services and a bold strategy.

What’s the job?

• You will assist the Retail Manager in undertaking administrative duties to ensure the smooth and efficient running of retail operations.
• You will carry out filing and administrative tasks: maintaining and updating records and administrative systems as directed.
• You will assist in the preparation and provision of regular management information, processing delivery notes, invoices and purchase orders as and when required.

Who you are

With previous experience of administrative duties in a retail or other commercial environment, you will have experience of cash handling and be independent and self-reliant, being able to work without close supervision.

Why apply?

The Union will train you thoroughly, reward you well and encourage you to build a long-term career that inspires you. The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces. In return for your passion and experience, we offer the flexibility for work/life balance, a competitive salary for the non-profit sector and an excellent holiday allowance. We’re absolutely open to considering requests for job-share or part-time working.

We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability status.

We want to support diverse and inclusive work environments and are actively looking for people who share our values.
