Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is more than a Charity we are a lifeline to older people in our local communities. As part of our mission to support older people in their everyday lives, we provide a wide range of services, including our shops. 

Every item sold across our shops helps an older person in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We are looking for a commercially minded, inspiring Head of Retail to lead our charity’s retail function, a portfolio of 29 shops, a growing online operation with an ambitious plan to turn the retail success into real impact for older people.

This is a Senior Leadership role reporting to our Executive Director. You will set and deliver our retail strategy, grow income across high-street, out-of-town and superstore-style sites, develop our furniture and ecommerce operations, and lead a large, dedicated team of managers, drivers, maintenance staff and volunteers.

• Identify and develop opportunities for growth — including new high-street, out-of-town and superstore-style sites — backed by evidenced business cases.

• Build our furniture retail strategy across the city, county and wider region, and grow ecommerce income across multiple online platforms such as eBay.

• Lead, coach and motivate your managers and teams, ensuring every shop is well presented with excellent customer service.

• Turn around underperforming shops and oversee income generators including Gift Aid, scratch cards and the Grand Raffle.

• Drive efficiency across the function, making smart use of technology and AI to support staff and volunteers.

What we’re looking for

• Strong retail experience at senior management level, with proven sales leadership and the ability to inspire others.

• Commercial and business awareness, with the ability to set and work to financial targets, budgets and plans.

• A track record of developing and delivering retail strategy and growing a retail estate, including new formats.

• Experience of identifying and turning around underperforming shops, and of managing performance.

• Experience of leading and developing both staff and volunteers, with excellent IT and communication skills.

• Someone compassionate and empathetic — who leads with kindness as well as drive, treating staff, volunteers and customers with respect.

• Desirable: not-for-profit sector experience, furniture reuse and logistics, growing ecommerce across more than one platform, and using technology and AI to improve ways of working.

• A full driving licence is required, with the ability to gain business insurance.

What we offer

• Competitive salary of £55,000 per annum

• Company car (subject to benefit-in-kind tax).

• 25 days’ holiday plus public and bank holidays and two discretionary days.

• Enhanced health cash plan, life insurance, and an employee assistance and wellbeing programme.

This is a pivotal moment for MYTIME. We are growing fast, our ambitions are national, and we need a Head of Operations who is genuinely ready to grow with us - not just manage what we have today but help build what we need for tomorrow.

As a true second-in-command to the CEO, you will be the operational backbone of the organisation: the person who ensures our governance is airtight, our systems are fit for purpose, our commissioner relationships are strong, and our data tells the story of our impact. You will think and act strategically, while remaining close enough to the day-to-day to spot what needs fixing before it becomes a problem.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a purpose-driven organisation at a critical stage of its growth. If you are the kind of person who thrives on complexity, takes initiative, challenges thinking, and brings rigour without bureaucracy, we want to hear from you.
