Winners of the Employer of the Year for the People in Retail Awards 2023 – Retail Bulletin.

Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much-loved presence on high streets across the country – with boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores. As a member of the retail team, you’ll help inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. You will also drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

We understand our people are our most important asset and work hard to make sure you feel valued and included as part of a team. In retail most work every weekend, managers mainly work only 1 in 2. We don't expect our teams to work past 5.15 in most of our shops. The earliest we start is 8.45am. We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day off.

At the heart of New Miltons bristling community, you will find our modern and spacious Sue Ryder shop. Enjoy looking through the varied and colourful range of preloved clothing for every occasion! Our range of unusual bric a brac is the talk of the town too, along with a terrific selection of books to enjoy when the mood takes you. Go on, treat yourself!

Do you have retail experience with excellent customer service skills? Would you love to use your retail knowledge and experience for an important cause? If so come, assist, and support our Shop Manager to run our New Milton shop and contribute to the work we do across Sue Ryder!

As our new Shop Supervisor, you will have retail experience with the commercial awareness to deliver sales. You’ll have a positive attitude and good judgement to do the right thing. You will have proven team leadership skills and the ability to help lead a large team of volunteers.
