Charity Shop Manager

3 Days Old

About the role This is a fixed-term opportunity for an experienced Charity Shop Manager to join our team at our Exeter-based charity. This new role will combine providing support and/or absence cover to our existing shops, along with getting involved in other opportunities for growth and development across the retail team (e.g. volunteering). Working in the shops may involve working to support the shop manager, or stepping in for them at short notice (and quickly getting to grips with their shop, processes, staff, volunteers and customers). This will be balanced according to business needs. The nature of this role means that you will need to be capable of both leading or being part of a team consisting of shop assistants and volunteers. There will also be times when you will be working on your own or with our Head of Retail and Enterprise at our Exeter base. The most important thing is that you will be helping us to achieve and exceed business targets for sales, growth and profits. You will be based either at one of our charity shops, or at our main base in Exeter (to be discussed at interview). About you We’re looking for someone with prior management experience in charity retail, and demonstrable knowledge of the sector and its challenges. You will be self-motivated, commercially aware with a creative eye for displays, and constantly seeking new business opportunities. You will be comfortable with both acting as shop manager, and supporting the existing shop team, depending on the situation. You will have excellent interpersonal, communication and customer care skills and be a person who motivates their team and creates a safe and energetic working environment. There is a need to travel to different shops in Exeter and East Devon (depending on business needs) so a driving licence and willingness to drive InFocus vehicles is important.
