About the retail team:

  • Our retail operation consists of over 80 charity shops
  • Each of our shops has its own charm and personality due to our dedicated volunteers and colleagues. From vintage jewellery and jigsaws to harps and handbags, whether our customers are looking for that 'must have' item or simply a 'missing piece'.

  • Demonstrable learning and experience from working in a relevant retail environment
  • Experience and/or understanding of working to sales targets
  • Experience of cash reconciliation and financial controls
  • Ability to motivate and manage a team of employees and volunteers

What we can offer you:

  • range of health benefits
  • 26 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service
  • Salary Finance, which empowers you to take control of your financial wellbeing
  • and much more, which you can learn about 

Interested? Here’s how to apply:

Application closing date: 4th January 2026

Virtual interview date: Week commencing 12th January 2026

Applications may close before the deadline, so please apply early to avoid disappointment. Please note, applications received after the closing date may not be responded to.

If you’re enthusiastic about this opportunity but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable.  You may be just the right candidate.

  1. Anonymised application form
  2. Virtual interview via Microsoft Teams
