Do you have a passion for quality retailing, being part of your local community, and want to be a part of the sustainable fashion movement? If this sounds like you, come and join the trading team at St Christopher’s where you will be working in one of our 20+ high street stores across South East London.

Job Title: Store Assistant Manager

Salary: £24,980 per annum FTE (£14,571 pro‑rata)

Employment Terms: Permanent, 21 hours per week, Monday – Sunday based on a 7‑day rota.

You’ll be reporting into the Store Manager and taking on tasks allocated by them when you’re working together, or you’ll be taking on leadership duties in their absence and running the store. This includes opening and closing responsibilities.

You’ll be overseeing all areas of our stock journey, from sorting, pricing, and displaying donations to making a sale. Expect a varied role where no two days are the same and you see items you’ve never seen before every day.

This is a management position and includes supervising a team of extraordinary volunteers. They are all critical to success and it’ll be your job to create a welcoming environment for everyone while still getting the job done.

• Good experience in a busy, hands‑on environment where you are used to getting things done at pace
• Experience in a customer‑facing environment where you’ve delivered great customer service throughout your working day
• Retail experience is desirable but not essential
• Management or supervisory experience would be advantageous
• Great people skills and the ability to lead and supervise a group of superstar volunteers
• Adept at problem‑solving and able to work under pressure while being self‑motivated and driven
