Retail Manager – The Hangar

The Wisdom Hospice | Rochester, Kent £32,000 - £34,000 per annum (dependent on experience) 37.5 hours per week 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays

This is no ordinary retail management role.

At The Wisdom Hospice, every sale helps fund exceptional hospice care for local people and their families. The Hangar is our flagship retail destination - a vibrant, large-format store that redefines what charity retail can be.

Forget traditional charity shops. The Hangar is a unique retail experience filled with high-quality donated stock, exciting discoveries, sustainable fashion, homeware treasures, and ever-changing displays. It is a destination for shoppers, bargain hunters, fashion lovers and supporters alike.

We're now looking for an exceptional Retail Manager to lead this thriving store and take it to the next level.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to put your own stamp on a high-profile retail operation while directly supporting a cause that changes lives.

We're looking for a creative, commercially-minded leader who can transform donated goods into compelling retail experiences, inspire customers to return time and again, and build a passionate team of staff and volunteers around a shared mission.

The successful candidate will have the vision to see opportunities where others see stock, the drive to exceed targets, and the people skills to create an outstanding customer experience every day.

What You'll Do

Drive Commercial Success

  • Deliver and exceed sales and income targets
  • Maximise the value of donated stock through effective pricing and presentation
  • Create engaging promotions, events and seasonal campaigns
  • Seek new opportunities to increase footfall and revenue

Bring Creativity to Life

  • Develop eye-catching visual merchandising and store displays
  • Create an exciting and inspiring shopping environment
  • Use your flair for retail presentation to showcase stock at its full potential
  • Support local marketing and social media activity

Lead and Inspire People

  • Motivate, coach and develop a team of paid staff and volunteers
  • Create a positive, energetic and inclusive culture
  • Recruit and retain volunteers who share our passion
  • Deliver outstanding customer service standards across the store

Ensure Operational Excellence

  • Oversee day-to-day store operations
  • Manage stock flow, rotation and gift aid processes
  • Maintain excellent standards of health and safety, compliance and cash handling
  • Keep the store looking professional, safe and welcoming at all times

About You

We're looking for someone who is as passionate about people as they are about retail.

You'll bring:

  • Proven experience in retail management with responsibility for delivering sales targets
  • Strong people leadership and team development skills
  • A creative eye for visual merchandising and product presentation
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
  • Commercial awareness and sound business judgement
  • Confidence using social media and digital tools
  • A proactive, hands-on approach and a genuine passion for our cause

Experience in charity retail is highly desirable, but we would also welcome applications from talented commercial retail managers looking to move into the charity sector.

Additional requirements:

  • Full UK driving licence
  • Good standard of education (A-Level or equivalent)
  • Enhanced DBS check required

Why Join The Wisdom Hospice?

This is more than a retail management position.

It's an opportunity to lead a store with real purpose, inspire a community of supporters, and generate vital income that helps deliver outstanding hospice care across Kent.

You'll be joining an organisation that is passionate about its mission, ambitious about its future, and committed to finding the right person to help make The Hangar the premier charity retail destination in the region.
