Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who has experience of managing a team and can demonstrate how they have empowered and motivated that team beyond expectations. With the added experience of being able to recruit and develop a diverse team, in particular volunteers, you may be exactly what we are looking for.

Your role will be varied and will challenge you, but will provide you with stimulating and satisfying work. Our Community Shop Managers do not have a typical day and that's because they are continually seeking different opportunities to engage with the local community and increase their shops contribution to Shelter's cause. This could be through local community links, such as with other retailers, schools, churches or the local food bank.

You will develop and encourage your own and your team's interest and passion in merchandising the shop to attract those customers and donors through the door as well as continually developing your own and your team's knowledge of who Shelter are and what we do.

It goes without saying that your volunteers, under your leadership, will run an exceptional shop that will raise as much money as possible for Shelter's work.

How do I demonstrate I am who you are looking for?
You will need to address and provide examples of the following in your application and at interview:

• Experience of managing a team of staff and/or volunteers, including recruitment and development of that team
• Experience of providing excellent customer service, preferably in a face-to-face role
• Experience of being enterprising and innovative
   

How do we describe our Community Shop Managers?

If we were to describe our Community Shop Managers in 4 key words, they would be Confident, Inspiring, Enterprising and Influential. Our Community Shop Managers are happy to roll up their sleeves and lead by example and their aim is to develop and empower their team.

At Shelter we value our people and the skills and expertise they can bring to their role to help further Shelter's cause. As a Community Shop Manager, how you manage people is the most important skill we are looking for and it will be critical to your success in this role.

How is this all possible?

It's simple, with a strong, motivated and committed volunteer shop team behind you, anything is possible!

What are the benefits?

We offer a wide range of benefits including 30 days annual leave, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, childcare vouchers and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.

At Shelter, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. We also encourage applications from people, who have been homeless or have been at risk of homelessness. We are facing diverse problems, so need diverse people to tackle them.  In addition to this, we encourage an approach to involving people with personal insight of housing issues and homelessness in our recruitment processes.

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.

The RSPCA Central, West & North East London Branch is a separately registered charity from the main RSPCA and is self-funding through a chain of charity shops. These shops pay for our two animal centres which accommodate over 1700 animals a year from our Branch area.

We take in the most sick, injured, abused and neglected animals from the streets of London and rehabilitate and re-home them. Our outreach programme operates seven days a week to offer help and comfort to animals that have been hit by cars, fallen from windows, lost their homes due to the death, imprisonment or eviction of their owners, or been beaten, abandoned or abused. Our amazing team of fosterers take in those animals which still have quality of life but are too old to find a new home or who are too poorly and need time to recover in a safe loving environment. 

Our specialist stables re-homing programme for feral and terrified cats ensures that those who cannot cope with a conventional home can find a future where they are fed and cared for but do not have to interact with people until they feel ready to do so.

We work with housing associations, local authorities, social workers, community groups and the police to provide help to animals in danger and distress.

Supporting the RSPCA is to support animals most in need and whose trust in people has often been lost.
