Are you a dynamic and results‑driven professional with a passion for retail management? We are seeking an experienced Area Manager to oversee 10 home stores across West London, Reading, Woking and Aldershot.
If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, have excellent leadership skills, and a keen eye for business development, this role is for you.
This is a field‑based role; therefore willingness to travel to various sites and a full UK driving licence is essential.

* Drive commercial awareness throughout your area to maximise sales and profit.
* Maximise performance by leading diverse teams, ensuring everyone lives by and demonstrates our values.
* Maintain commercial performance within your area.
What we are looking for

* The ability to motivate and guide teams toward achieving goals.
* A strong understanding of retail operations, financial metrics and market trends.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
* A proactive approach to addressing challenges and finding solutions.
* Willingness to travel within the designated area.
First stage interviews will be held in person on Tuesday 16th December at our London office.
What’s important to us
In addition to raising funds for the BHF, we connect with our local communities and help reduce clothing and furniture waste across the UK. With over 700 stores we make a huge environmental impact by preventing around 70,000 tonnes of unwanted items from going to landfill every year.
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed.
