Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing life for blind and vision impaired people.

Welcome to Retail with a difference
Imagine a retail career where every sale, every display, and every customer interaction directly supports compassionate care for those who need it most. At Princess Alice Hospice, our shops are more than just retail spaces—they’re community hubs that help fund vital hospice services.
With 40 high street locations, we combine professional retail standards with a heartfelt mission. As our Retail Area Manager, you’ll be the face of our values on the high street—leading teams, driving performance, and making a real difference every single day.
About the role:
As a Retail Area Manager, you’ll take full ownership of a diverse portfolio of shops, leading and supporting teams made up of both paid staff and volunteers.
You’ll be responsible for driving profitability across all income streams while managing controllable expenses, ensuring each shop delivers an exceptional supporter experience through high standards of presentation and service.
This is a hands-on, field-based role where you’ll spend most of your time in-store—guiding teams, solving problems, and fostering a culture of excellence and care.
You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across the Hospice to support day-to-day operations and contribute to the strategic development of our retail offering. This is a dynamic role that requires daily travel between shops and occasional weekend work, aligned with the needs of the business. A current driving licence (with no more than six penalty points) is essential.
About You:
This role is ideal for a confident and experienced Area Manager, preferably with a background in charity retail, though we warmly welcome applicants from across the retail (particularly fashion) and service industry with transferable skills.
You’ll be a natural leader with proven people management experience, excellent communication skills, and strong IT competence.
Self-motivated and solution-focused, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where juggling multiple priorities is the norm. Your ability to build relationships at all levels, handle conflict constructively, and stay organised and flexible will be key to your success in this role.
As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity to join an organisation which places patients at the heart of what we do, we also offer a range of great benefits, which include:
- 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service
- Training support and development opportunities
- Employee Assistance Programme – promoting staff wellbeing
- Access to blue light card discount
- Access to Pension Scheme
If you’re a motivated, organised leader who’s passionate about retail and community impact, we’d love to hear from you!
Discover a career where retail means more. The difference is You.
