Welcome to our General Employment Page
What does it take to work at a Silver Cross store?
Optimism
You naturally wake up happy even if it’s cloudy. You embrace challenges because that makes work interesting and you like to win. You’re at ease and even energized around new people because you enjoy hearing about their needs and how you can assist them.
Willingness to Learn
We won’t kid you, there’s a lot to know to work in our stores. From medical conditions to funding program red tape, to hundreds of products in our catalog to familiarize yourself with, you will need to listen and ask questions to get up to speed quickly. But maybe that’s what makes you different from the person at the pizza store and why you can succeed.
Compassion and Patience
You’ll meet people every day who have difficulty with daily living. You have the power to improve that, but it means you need to be patient to listen and put yourself in the client’s shoes for a bit to really understand what the best solution is for this person.
Hard Work
You won’t find a successful entrepreneur who said he didn’t work really hard to get there. Being part of our team requires self-motivation that drives you to do good work because you want to do it. You’re not a clock watcher, you’re not a wait-and-see person. You’re driven to succeed.
