Job description

Are you looking for an opportunity to progress in store management?

We’re looking for an Assistant Store Manager to join our fashion store team in Waterlooville, so we could be the perfect match!

What does this role involve:

As an Assistant Store Manager, you support the Store Manager with the day-to-day running of the store and take full responsibility in their absence.

Inspiring and supporting staff and volunteers to deliver an excellent customer journey that reflects our values, our Assistant Store Managers contribute towards the success of their stores by:

• Ensuring highest standard of customer service
• Achieving targets
• Maintaining a high standard of visual merchandising
• Maximising sales through physical and digital channels
• Supporting with the recruitment and development of volunteers
• Achieving expectations within campaign activities
• Working with the manager to generate stock

This is a part-time 35-hour position on a permanent contract.

Our stores are fast-paced and trade 7 days a week, which means we require flexibility from our store teams to work weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.

Due to the volume of donations, it can be physically demanding at times, yet most rewarding as you play a part in helping to fund life-saving research.

What are we looking for:

• Experience in a customer-facing role
• Supervisory experience
• Commercially driven to encourage new ideas
• Inclusive approach to developing teams
• Passion for delivering exceptional customer service and achieving the highest retail standards
• Results driven but with a recognition of right result, right way.

What’s important to us?

At the British Heart Foundation (BHF), we offer a huge range of new and used quality furniture, clothing, jewellery, and more, available in store and online.

In addition to raising funds for the BHF, we connect with our local communities and help reduce clothing and furniture waste across the UK. With over 700 stores, we make a significant environmental impact by preventing around 70,000 tonnes of unwanted items from going to landfill every year. We receive 1.6 million items donated to our stores and 9.8 million bags of donated items, and we will continue to expand our reuse initiatives in the future.

Everything we do supports funding lifesaving research for all heart and circulatory conditions. We are more ambitious and determined than ever – because the cures and treatments we need are within reach. You could be part of getting us there sooner!

Our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, 'Igniting Change,' along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and other employee network groups, help us create an environment where all colleagues and volunteers can succeed.

Why join the BHF?

We have a strong culture of internal progression and will actively support your career development.

Our generous staff benefits include:

• 38 days annual leave (plus options to buy and sell leave)
• Wagestream - early access to earned wages
• Holistic support leave of up to 10 additional days annually
• Enhanced family policies (maternity, paternity, and adoption leave)
• 25% staff discount
• Health cash plan (Dental, Optical, Therapies, etc.)
• Access to a 24/7 Virtual GP and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• Pension with employer contribution of up to 10%
• Cycle to work scheme
• Discounts on gym memberships
• Discounts with various retailers
