Do you have retail experience and a flair for leadership? Are you a natural leader with a drive for results and a passion for making a difference?

We're looking for a confident and motivated Shop Manager to lead our team in our Ruthin shop. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person to engage with the local community, shape the shop's future, and drive up income to support young people.

You’ll be responsible for managing an Assistant Shop Manager and a brilliant team of volunteers, working together to turn donated goods into meaningful support for young people. You'll lead and inspire existing volunteers, and attract, recruit and develop new ones to build a team that maximises the shop's potential.

If you have retail experience and enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life, this could be the perfect role for you. If you're also passionate about making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

We run 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.

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 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 services.
