Job description

At Prospect Hospice, we believe in a community where everyone lives and dies well. As we embark on an ambitious five-year strategy to grow and diversify our income, we’re looking for a dynamic Retail Trading Manager to develop our retail function into its next phase.

We’re an established charity based in Swindon, providing specialist care to people in Swindon, Marlborough and northeast Wiltshire. Our retail operations are at the heart of our mission, raising over £2.5 million annually to support individuals and families through life-limiting illness.

Our Vision for Retail:

Retail is a cornerstone of our income generation strategy. With plans to open new stores and invest in our existing network this role is pivotal to our future success. You’ll be empowered to innovate, lead change, and help us build a sustainable future for hospice care.

Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week (Monday-Friday, including some weekends and bank holidays).

About the Role:

As our Retail Trading Manager, you’ll support our charity retail operations, leading on the buying and control of new goods. You’ll build relationships with existing and new suppliers, build ranges and provide merchandising guidance to stores. You’ll also put in place robust processes to control replenishment and shrinkage.

Additionally, there is opportunity to work with store management teams to develop retail led events to drive footfall and engage with customers in our local communities.  You’ll also support new store openings and refits.

This is a high-impact role for a strategic and hands-on retail leader who thrives on performance, innovation and community engagement.

Key Responsibilities:

Bought in goods ‘new goods’

  • Lead and deliver 1–3 year growth and annual trading plans for new goods, ensuring KPI performance
  • Manage supplier relationships, sourcing and buying across all channels
  • Develop store-specific ranges and provide visual merchandising guidance to maximise sales
  • Monitor competitor activity and adjust product, pricing and ranges accordingly
  • Maximise sell-through and implement effective stock, pricing, margin and administration processes
  • Work with store teams, warehouse and logistics to meet demand and drive performance
  • Support and develop the New Goods team as the business grows

Retail events and projects

  • Prioritise opportunities to hold retail events which can be held across the estate, for example flash sales and family fun days
  • Identify local retail events which can be held in individual stores
  • Analyse results from retail initiatives to ensure learnings are captured and future events are optimised
  • Support and on occasion lead on projects within the retail function

About you:

  • Experience of delivering to targets and budgets
  • Proven experience in leading and motivating high performing teams to deliver against targets
  • Knowledge of P&L management
  • Experience of effective stock control management and product display
  • A team player, experienced in delivering accurate work on a timely basis
  • Experience of managing and motivating volunteers
  • A passion for community engagement and a commitment to our values
  • A full driving licence and access to a vehicle

If you’re a retail leader who thrives on challenge, innovation, and community impact, we’d love to hear from you. For full details and how to apply, visit our website.

First interviews will be held via Teams on Tuesday 28 April 2026 with in-person second interviews planned for Tuesday 5 May 2026.
