About Scope

At Scope our mission is to drive social change so that disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else. We want to achieve everyday equality and support disabled people to get the best start in life, live the life they choose and be financially secure.

About the role

Scope charity shops are open every day, so you must be prepared to work weekends and Bank Holidays as required. Weekly hours for part-time vacancies are on a seven-day rota.

This is a varied and creative role where you’ll encourage donations, sort and present stock to maximise sales, meet shop targets and provide a high level of customer service.

In the Shop Manager’s absence you'll be responsible for running the shop, so you must have the confidence and skills to lead the team of volunteers and have experience dealing with customers.

Disabled candidates

Equality and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. We want to seize every opportunity to build a truly diverse and inclusive workplace.

We are always looking for applications from disabled people. If you are disabled and you have the skills and, or the experience to do the job, we really want to interview you. Just let us know in your application that you are applying under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme.

We are looking for the right person to become our Retail Support Officer, a role that plays a key part in the development of our income generation from retail activities, including finding new shop locations, dealing with commercial estate agents and solicitors, and setting up the shops, with all that entails.

Just as crucial is ensuring a sound infrastructure is firmly in place for our existing shops network – till systems set up properly, Gift Aid reclaims from HMRC, procedures, and delivering training for our staff and volunteers.

This role will be hospice-based for some of the time but also community-based within our charity shops to set up / deliver training and to provide cover for shop managers, on occasion, as requested by the Retail Development Manager.

We provide high quality care to our patients and their loved ones at a time of most need. You might think a hospice environment would be a sad and quiet place but it’s an organisation with a great culture and a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a track record of working in the retail sector and playing a key role in setting up new shops.

Entering accurate case notes onto our IT system will be important too. And, when it comes to regularly liaising with GP surgeries, the local council, charities etc. or promoting the service within the community, again, we'll count on you.

Pause works with women who have experienced – or are at risk of – repeated pregnancies that result in children needing to be removed from their care. The programme gives women the chance to pause and take control over their lives, breaking a destructive cycle that causes both them and their children deep trauma. We are now working with more women who have experienced multiple removals than anyone else in the country.

Pause is working with four local authorities in the Liverpool City Region to deliver the Pause programme across Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool and Wirral. Two Pause Practices will be set-up – one covering programme delivery in Halton and Knowsley, and one covering Liverpool and Wirral. The two Pause Practices will collaborate closely and will link with the existing Pause Practice in St Helens, to ensure a regional approach to the Pause programme can be rolled out.

The two Pause Practice Leads will each manage teams of  5 - 7 people, including Pause Practitioners and a Co-ordinator for each practice. The Practice Leads will ensure effective delivery of the Pause programme – they will work alongside their teams, bringing a wealth of direct practice experience of complex work to maximise the team’s potential.

The Practice Leads will provide high levels of supervision and leadership to team members from a variety of disciplines, as well ensuring fidelity and integrity to the model. They will typically have significant experience in both operational and project management, with an ability to manage complex data and demonstrate impact. Additionally, they will usually have experience of evidence informed approaches.

Note: We are recruiting two Pause Practice Leads, one in Liverpool and Wirral, and one in Halton and Knowsley. If you would like to be considered for both roles, please submit the same application for each role via Applied. If you are shortlisted for both roles, you will only need to interview once.
