This training is currently delivered virtually but subject to change, possibly face to face in Rugby or Manchester over six modules.

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 the day-to-day operations of our busy Belfast store, overseeing a dynamic retail space and you'll grow an established team of around 25 dedicated volunteers. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your energy, creativity, and leadership to one of our busiest shops, situated in a vibrant, high-footfall area south of the city — close to cafés, transport links, and other charity retailers.
You'll build strong relationships with volunteers, empowering them to take ownership and pride in their roles while ensuring the shop thrives both commercially and as a positive reflection of Save the Children in the community. With a keen eye for merchandising and a passion for people, you'll balance operational excellence with local engagement to drive performance and impact.

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.
