Customer Service Champion
-
May 2013 - Sep 2015
Having worked at Dunelm for almost three years, the opportunity arose for me to have a new position within the store. This new position requires me to manage the till points and customer service desk. I was placed on the step up team leader programme meaning that upon completion, I would be a key holder and run the store on my own when the manager is not present. As a step up team leader I had to manage the team, do management, budget, till and safe reports as well as cashing up at the start and end of the working day. Having obtained a full time job at Bray & Bray, I now work Saturdays at Dunelm as a Customer Service Champion. Show less

Retail Assistant
-
Sep 2010 - Sep 2015
During my part time work at Dunelm, I have gained several valuable skills. As well as exceptional customer service, I am required to do tasks such as; handling money, giving change and giving refunds. My role at Dunelm often requires me to think on my feet, finding the best solutions to the customer’s problems. I have also previously been the head of the kitchen, utility and electrical department, this means that I was solely responsible for the standards, pricing and merchandise excellence of said departments. I feel that this position, and in particular, its insight into merchandising, has accelerated my commercial awareness. Show less
