About this opportunity

By being at the forefront of textile reuse and recycling, Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL) helps fund Salvation Army’s vital work with vulnerable people in the UK. Join the SATCoL team to help care for local communities and our planet, by being a part of finding new homes for pre-loved clothes, household items, and collectibles.

The Kirkcaldy shop has roles to suit all skill sets: from behind the scenes to front of house, window-dressing to social media, donation sorting to customer service. Tasks include creating seasonal displays, helping customers, and operating the till.

With SATCoL, you will meet new people, build confidence, gain skills and experience for your first or next career move. You will have access to a Wellbeing & Benefits Platform (free mortgage advice, will writing, virtual GP, discounts for mainstream retailers, 24/7 confidential helpline), award-winning eLearning platform; 25% discount, and support from divisional Salvation Army colleagues.
