YOUR RE-ENTRY REPORT
Scott
Your experience points to weekday options beyond shop-floor retail
You have ten years of experience handling customers and keeping store operations running, including opening and closing, cash handling, stock routines and visual merchandising. You also identify listening, reading, writing and empathising as strengths. These provide credible starting points for customer casework, stock control, workplace operations and recruitment coordination. Your priorities are weekdays, full-time work and £30,000 to £40,000, so each direction needs checking against actual London vacancies and their hours and pay. Your confidence is very low, but your experience gives you concrete examples to use while exploring these options.

Career directions worth exploring.
Transferable
Customer complaints or case resolution officer
This could use your customer service experience, your achievement in dealing with difficult people, and your self-reported strengths in listening, writing and empathising. It moves you into a different role family and may offer weekday work, which makes it relevant to your priorities.
Adjacent
Stock control or inventory coordinator
This is close to your existing stock responsibilities but shifts the focus from serving customers and presenting products to tracking and coordinating stock. It may be a route out of shop-floor work while building on direct experience.
Transferable
Workplace or office operations coordinator
This moves you from retail into coordinating the routines of a workplace. Your keyholder, opening and closing, cash handling and day-to-day operational experience give you relevant examples, while your weekday priority makes this context worth exploring.
Exploratory
Payments operations or banking processing assistant
This explores a move into financial operations outside retail, using your experience handling cash and banking as a starting point. It is worth testing if you want weekday work, but your experience does not yet establish that you have processed payments in a formal financial-services setting.

Caution: the role asks for busy-environment administrative support, coordinating multi-stakeholder meetings, maintaining trackers and databases, and using Microsoft Office, Teams and SharePoint.
