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!
