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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

“We were fortunate enough to meet the Spoons volunteers at Oldham and North Manchester. My husband and I couldn’t be more grateful. They’re such a friendly, welcoming face. Having a baby in the NICU is such a stressful, frightening time. It’s not an experience you expect to go through.” [Lee, Shanice and Saskia’s Story].
Spoons is a charity dedicated to supporting families through neonatal care. Their sole aim is to facilitate a community where families who have experienced neonatal care, can come together and feel safe in sharing their experiences and supporting one another. Do you want to form part of the team that support families just like Saskia’s?
The charity was founded in 2015 by Kirsten Mitchell, after she sought support from other parents she met on the neonatal unit. Spoons evolved from the acronym: Supporting Families of Oldham Neonates and over the past 10 years they have continued to grow and now support thousands of families across Greater Manchester.
With an inspirational history, and exciting future ahead, we are delighted to be partnering with this wonderful charity to find them a Fundraising Manager, someone to lead on income generation at this pivotal time.
The Role
The Fundraising Manager will lead on the delivery of a sustainable and diverse fundraising strategy. The main responsibilities will include:
- Developing and delivering a fundraising strategy and annual income plan.
- Growing sustainable income across all fundraising streams, predominantly Community, Individual Giving, Corporate partnerships and Events.
- Building, nurturing and stewarding supporter relationships.
- Overseeing and executing fundraising marketing and communications strategies.
The Person
We are looking for a self-motivated, ambitious individual with a proven track record of delivering fundraising income and a knowledge of a variety of income streams. You should also have an understanding of fundraising regulations, GDPR, and a keenness to keep abreast of fundraising best practice.
Additionally, you should be excellent at building relationships with a variety of stakeholders. You must be organised, driven and resilient, and able to multitask effectively in this varied and interesting role. We are also looking for candidates who are creative with the ability to write compelling communications including social content, campaigns and proposals.
This role is a wonderful opportunity to build on previous success and shape the future of fundraising for Spoons to make a real difference to the families this charity supports.
Why Spoons?
Spoons are often described as “a guiding light” and “a lifeline,” and NHS colleagues say that without Spoons, parents’ experiences on neonatal units would be significantly harder.
Joining the small, but mighty, team at Spoons provides a unique opportunity to become part of something incredible, something that will continue to help families across Greater Manchester at a time they need it more than ever. Not only is the team at the Spoons passionate about the work it does, but also puts huge emphasis on creating a positive working culture that supports staff and makes them feel valued in their roles. With a caring, supportive and ever changing working environment you will also receive a generous holiday allowance, a flexible working culture with sensible work-life balance and access to a range of professional development opportunities.
Is ensuring every family in Greater Manchester affected by neonatal care has the compassionate support they need something you feel passionately about? If so, we would love to hear from you.
