About Cards for Good Causes

Cards for Good Causes is the UK’s largest multi-charity Christmas retailer, selling cards and gifts on behalf of more than 200 UK charities and good causes.

In the last 10 years, Cards for Good Causes has given £19.4 million to charities and good causes.

Every Christmas, we open a network of seasonal shops across the UK, supported by our fantastic Shop Managers and volunteers. Our shops operate for a relatively short but very important trading period, and our teams play a key role in helping us raise as much money as possible for the charities and good causes we support.

We are now looking for enthusiastic and organised part-time Shop Managers to join our team for the 2026 Christmas season.

Our shops can be managed by more than one Shop Manager, making this a great seasonal opportunity for candidates looking for flexible part-time work.

• Has experience in a customer-facing environment
• Is confident working on their own initiative
• Has good organisational and time-management skills
• Can lead, motivate and support a team of volunteers
