Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and influential retail leader with proven people-management and commercial experience to join us as our Store Manager in Belfast, where you will lead and inspire an established volunteer team to deliver exceptional retail standards, drive income, and create an inclusive community hub that reflects our brand and values.

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.

In this role, you will: 

• Build, inspire and develop an engaged, motivated volunteer team — championing diversity, inclusion and community spirit.

• Oversee all aspects of shop operations, ensuring retail excellence, compliance and a best-in-class customer experience.

• Engage proactively with the local community to grow the shop's profile and strengthen Save the Children's presence in Belfast.

• Drive income and profit by analysing performance, maximising sales opportunities and implementing creative merchandising ideas.

• Create an inclusive, positive culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute.

• Act as an ambassador for Save the Children UK, representing our brand values with professionalism and passion.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Previous experience in management or team leadership — ideally in a busy or volunteer-led environment.

• Excellent people and communication skills, with the ability to build trust and foster collaboration across diverse teams.

• Strong commercial awareness and confidence working to financial and operational targets.

• A positive, energetic, and adaptable approach, with a focus on problem-solving and community engagement.

• Good IT literacy and comfort using digital systems to manage operations, volunteers, and reporting.

• A genuine passion for Save the Children's mission and a commitment to our values of inclusivity, collaboration, and integrity.

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

Previous retail management experience is desirable, but not essential. If you have the drive, empathy, and leadership qualities, we'll support you to succeed.

To learn more about the position, please review the How Our Shops Operate and Job Description on our website.

Ways of Working: This role will be based on-site in the Botanic Avenue, Belfast shop. We're looking for someone able to work 5 days (35 hours) per week to include weekend working.

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.

• Pension & Life Assurance – Secure your future with excellent contributions.

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.

Guts UK is the only charity that covers the digestive system from top to tail, including the gut, the liver and the pancreas. The charity focuses particularly on the conditions that have no other specific charity or voice - conditions that are underserved, such as pancreatitis, diverticular disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), childhood gut and liver disease, and digestive cancers. With their mission being to improve the lives of the millions of people affected by digestive conditions, they are looking for their first Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager to help them reach that goal.

The Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager is responsible for developing and implementing plans to maximise income from corporate partners and high net worth individuals with the propensity to donate significant sums. There is huge scope to develop both income streams at Guts UK, as this is the first dedicated position covering these income streams.

With some fantastic corporate partnerships in place already, there is great potential to build on the existing foundations and leverage those corporate partnerships to secure more ranging from transactional right up to transformational.

The philanthropy function has green shoots to nurture and develop. This is an exciting role for a candidate who wants to grow and shape this income stream, and demonstrate their personal impact on generating income, and providing donors with an incredible supporter experience.

This specialist manager role would suit someone who is already operating at a senior fundraiser or manager level, or someone who can demonstrate experience of developing a corporate and/or major donor pipeline, creating operational plans and delivering income. Guts UK is a small charity with big ambition so a background that includes working within a smaller charity would be helpful for the candidate to have but isn't essential.

This is one role advertised twice to ensure candidates across both hybrid locations can apply. This role is hybrid with candidates happy to work a minimum of one day per week from the London or Hudderfield office welcome to apply. The London office address is 2 St Andrews Place, London. The Senior Fundraising Manager, Trusts and Foundations Manager and the Community and Events Manager work hybrid from the London office at St Andrews Place, with the Fundraising Administrator working from the Huddersfield office. 

If the successful candidate is based in London, there is an additional £2,000 London weighting to the advertised salary. 

Application notes 

Please download the Candidate Info Pack provided for further information about the role, timelines and next steps.

To progress your application, please contact THINK Recruitment to organise an informal call. Please note, we cannot shortlist candidates who have not had an initial call so please allow enough time to have a call before the closing date.

Closing date for applications: Midnight Monday 17th November 

Interviews are expected to be held on Tuesday 25th November in person.
