**THE ROLE**
Imagine the excitement and ability to show off your incredible skills in a deployed environment (overseas) for six months working in a retail store for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and partner nations from across the world

As a deployed Retail Attendant, you are not just providing retail services, but enhancing the morale and welfare of all the troops deployed.

Excited by the opportunity to deploy as a civilian among CAF personnel abroad, you are a team player with a positive attitude in a fast-paced setting. You are able to adapt to new challenges in an ever-changing dynamic environment.

The Retail Attendant provides exceptional customer service in a retail store, to the CAF and partner nations. You prepare and serve Tim Hortons beverages, handle cash and card transactions, and interact with customers.
