**Job Synopsis**

**JOB MISSION STATEMENT**
MCC BC is a non-profit organization with Thrift Shops that generate revenue to support MCC's world-changing relief, development, and peace work by offering affordable treasures to thrifty British Columbians. Thrift Shops are also an important way that MCC BC invites our communities, as customers, volunteers, and employees, into our work. As a Thrift Associate, your retail experience helps you efficiently receive, drive and deliver, process and merchandise donated products and serve customers with speed and friendliness.
**JOB SUMMARY**
Working in MCC BC’s Centre Thrift Shop, located in Abbotsford, BC, reporting to the Shop Manager and under the day-to-day supervision of the Shop’s leadership team, the Thrift Associate assists in all aspects of the shop’s “back-of-house” and “front-of-house” operations, with a particular focus on back-of-house. Back-of-house responsibilities may include driving and delivery, receiving, warehousing, processing/sorting, preparing, pricing, staging and organizing and tidying the retail floor. Front-of-house responsibilities may include providing cash and customer service duties, adding and stocking inventory, merchandising & marketing, and tidying and organizing the retail floor.
Working in the receiving area, warehouse, from a delivery truck, and on the retail floor, the Thrift Associate collaborates with volunteers, colleague employees and shop leaders to create a compelling MCC BC Thrift experience. You’ll work directly with customers, volunteers, employees, donors, and members of the community in a manner that reflects Christian integrity, exemplifying the beliefs, values, and mission of Mennonite Central Committee British Columbia in the workplace.

This role participates in devotional and prayer times at MCC BC and/or at local church and faith gatherings, being prepared to answer inquiries about MCC BC’s mission and values. This role contributes to a positive workplace culture based on Christian beliefs and values, while modelling nonviolent peacemaking in the workplace, in the community and the church through respectful interactions with others. This role requires adherence to MCC BC’s Code of Conduct, policies, practices, and procedures, including Workplace Health and Safety.
- **_ Where you work:_** this position is located at MCC BC’s Centre Thrift Shop in Abbotsford, British Columbia. On occasion, training and meetings may require travel to other MCC BC locations within British Columbia.

- **_ When you work:_** regular retail hours are 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. Work shifts will begin prior to or extend later than retail hours. This role may require extended, after or holiday hours to support shop needs, issues or special organizational initiatives, as necessary.
- **_ Physical conditions & requirements:_** This position works primarily inside the store, but may work outside as circumstances require, in all types of weather, to assist customers or assist with store operations. Appropriate footwear is required; some duties may require the wearing of personal protective equipment. This position requires spending a portion of time seated while driving, on one’s feet, handling goods and lifting and moving heavy objects over 50 lbs.
- **_ Pace of work:_** this position requires working in a comfortable but fast-paced retail shop/shipping & receiving environment. You may be met with multiple demands at once from customers, volunteers and employees; responding positively and adroitly throughout.
