Job Description:

With your experience in retail management, you will work with our Shop Manager and local community to drive forward sales and source quality fashion, accessories, and homeware from donations to regenerate and find a new home!

We're looking for a positive role model to join our leadership team, guiding our team of volunteers in creating a friendly and welcoming shopping experience. We'd like you to have experience of managing others and have creative ways to lead and motivate a team to achieve maximum success. In this role, you will be supporting the recruitment and training of new volunteers, sharing your knowledge of merchandising and providing quality customer service to those both purchasing and donating.

You could be a current team leader or supervisor, looking to take on more management responsibility, or you could be an experienced manager (or deputy) looking for a new challenge. We want to hear from you to see if we are the employer for you!

Our shop is open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 till 17:00 and your normal working pattern may change each week, subject to the needs of the business and the levels of staff and volunteers available to work. This working pattern includes weekends and bank holidays, so having the ability to be flexible is essential, and you may also be required to support with additional holiday and sickness cover.

With opportunities for growth and development, competitive benefits, and a team dedicated to our mission, Blue Cross offers more than just a job—it offers a chance to be part of something meaningful and rewarding.
