About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the role
As Store Manager, you will lead one of our flagship Mary's Living & Giving stores – a premium, fashion-forward charity retail concept created in partnership with Mary Portas. You'll be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Chiswick store, ensuring that it not only meets its commercial goals but continues to offer a unique, community-focused shopping experience that reflects the MLG brand.
You'll lead and support a passionate team of around 40 volunteers, maintaining their engagement while evolving the store's offer to reflect local trends and align operationally with other Mary's Living & Giving stores across the network.
In this role, you will:
• Lead, motivate, and develop a diverse volunteer team, creating an inclusive, supportive and empowering culture that celebrates each individual's contribution.
• Manage all aspects of store operations, ensuring excellence in visual merchandising, stock management, and customer service standards.
• Analyse sales performance and local trends to maximise income and profit, while maintaining the premium and distinctive MLG brand identity.
• Build strong links with the local community to grow the store's supporter base and reputation as a destination for high-quality womenswear and new goods.
• Diversify the product offer in line with community insight and MLG strategy, ensuring the store remains relevant, inspiring, and competitive.
• Ensure compliance with Save the Children's policies, safeguarding, and operational standards.
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
• Proven leadership experience in retail or charity retail, with a track record of managing and motivating teams (paid or volunteer).
• A strong sense of fashion retailing, with the ability to curate, present and sell products to a fashion-conscious, label-driven customer base.
• Commercial awareness and experience of working to sales targets, with the ability to interpret data and identify growth opportunities.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, able to engage confidently with volunteers, customers, and the wider community.
• A flexible, positive, and resilient approach, with the ability to adapt and problem-solve in a fast-moving retail environment.
• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.
This role will be based on-site in the Chiswick, London shop. We're looking for someone able to work 5 days (35 hours) per week to include weekend working.
What we offer you:
Our benefits package is extensive and generous, including:
• Competitive Pay – Our transparent pay policy ensures fair and equitable compensation.
• Generous Holidays – Start with 27 days off per year (pro rata for part-timers) and enjoy up to 32 days after 10 years.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Location & Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
