Shop manager

10

great reasons to work for us:

1

Better work life balance: Shop hours are usually 8.45 - 17.15… there are no 4am SALE set ups and no long shifts well into the night, as you'd find in mainstream retail.

2

Variety & autonomy: No two days are the same! The incoming donations help shape your day and there is lots of autonomy in terms of visual merchandising and planning trade.

3

Part of a 'family': Of course we have targets but charity retail is much more close-knit than mainstream retail, with a culture of value, support and mentoring of new starters.

4

Working with volunteers: It can be so rewarding and you learn so much from meeting a wide range of people with varying ages, skills, learning and physical disabilities.

5

The cause: The cause is at the heart of everything we do. Every single day you go home knowing that you have contributed to such an amazing charity.

6

Progressive thinking: We are always one-step ahead and are very progressive in our retail strategy, such as new store concepts, our gift card and pop up shops.

7

No 1 for charity retail: So many people tell us we are the best at merchandising and how we trade and that we set the standard for high street charity retail.

8

Collaborative environment: We are supported to try things and fail forward by learning from our mistakes. We encourage our staff to be empowered and run with ideas.

9

Structured and supportive on-boarding: Our on-boarding involves training in different areas to make sure you get a really well rounded experience.

10

And finally - fun! There is lots of laughter, teamwork, camaraderie and banter, it just makes the day go so much quicker!

We've got a new look

You may notice that our website has a new look. Research carried out last year revealed there were many barriers to people accessing our support, so our refreshed branding aims to help break down misconceptions about who we are and what we do. 

This is part of a bigger piece of work for us - we're aiming to double the number of people we support by 2030.
