This is a great opportunity for anyone that has a passion for preloved items and would like to experience working in charity retail.

As deputy manager you will support the manager to:

• maintain great standards to give our customers and donors an excellent shopping service
• help to manage a team of paid staff and volunteers, including promoting volunteer recruitment opportunities
• maintain good relations with the general public, the wider retail and logistics teams as well as colleagues across the whole Hospice
• complete any required paperwork as needed
• work as part of the Retail Hospice Team

What we offer:

• 6.6 weeks of holiday
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Employee discount scheme with major retailers.
• Family-friendly benefits.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Subsidised bus travel with First Bus Commuter Travel Club
• Cycle to work scheme

This job would suit someone who enjoys retail and working in a lively, fast paced environment.

You will need to have enthusiasm, be customer orientated and enjoy working with a diverse range of products and people.  You will be required to complete paperwork and therefore a working knowledge of Microsoft Office products is desirable. It would also be desirable to have experience in the day to day management of a shop, including stock management, merchandising, health and safety and financial procedures.

As you may be required to supervise volunteers under the age of 18 years, we ask our shop staff to have an Enhanced DBS certificate (which we will arrange).

We value and encourage applications from all sections of the community.
