Are you an experienced retail Assistant Manager? Do you have experience in high street retail, charity furniture shop or large sq. footage shops? Are you looking for an opportunity to use your commercial awareness and creativity?

We are looking for an Assistant Shop Manager to help lead our team in our superstore in Shirley shop. You will be working in an extremely busy shop, with volunteers in a creative environment, working with donated and corporate goods to maximise sales and net contribution of the shop.

You will make a real difference to young people in England by helping to raise the vital funds needed to support our frontline work. You will need to be driven and focused on making money, and have good communication skills both inside and outside the shop, reaching out to the local community to help build support for the shop.

As an Assistant Shop Manager you will support the Shop Manager to lead a team of diverse volunteers. You will need great people skills and be confident at working with people from different backgrounds creating a welcoming and positive experience for all of our staff, volunteers and supporters.

If you have what it takes to work hard but have some fun along the way then this is the place for you.

Every day we’re changing the lives of children in this country for the better – and with your help, tomorrow we can be there for even more.

The Children’s Society runs over 100 local services that help thousands of young people who desperately need our support, and we campaign to get laws and policies changed to make children’s lives happier and safer.

The Children’s Society is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with. As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working practices across our shops and services.

The closing date for applications is at midnight on Wednesday 11th September 2024. If, after 14 days, we have received enough applications we reserve the right to close the vacancy on Wednesday 28th August 2024.

Interviews will be held at the Shirley shop on a date to be confirmed.
