Job description

Are you an experienced team leader or supervisor in retail or hospitality, looking to progress further into a management role?

We're looking for a Warehouse Supervisor to join one of our retail home store teams, where your organisational skills and proactive approach will make a crucial contribution to selling our pre-loved items.

Our Warehouse Supervisors work alongside the management team to deliver key objectives and ensure that the store manages stock efficiently to generate sales. You will react to fast-changing situations quickly and positively by creating a safe & productive working environment.

Each day is different in this varied, fast-paced, and hands-on role. Due to the volume of collections, deliveries, and donations, it is physically demanding, yet most rewarding as you play a part in helping to fund life-saving research.

What are we looking for?

• You will be an experienced warehouse or stockroom team leader or supervisor in retail, hospitality, or another customer-focused industry.
• Desirable but not essential to have stock management experience.
• Motivated, proactive, and commercially driven to lead a team.
• Strong organisational and leadership skills.
• Thrives working in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
• Results-driven, resilient, and able to adapt to the needs of the business.

Our stores are fast-paced and trade 7 days a week. This role requires flexibility to work weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.

This role is full-time, working 35 hours per week on a permanent contract.

What's important to us?

At the British Heart Foundation (BHF), we offer a huge range of new and used quality furniture, clothing, jewelry, 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 home stores and 9.8 million bags of donated items, and we will continue to build upon our reuse agenda in the years to come.

Everything we do comes back to 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 a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity 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 the option to buy and sell leave)
• Holistic support leave of up to 10 additional days off each year
• Enhanced family policies (maternity, paternity, and adoption leave)
• Wagestream - early access to wages
