Role Overview
Our Shop Managers have the freedom and independence to take ownership of their shop's performance, maximising profits, delivering the highest level of shop standards using their creative flair, and providing excellent quality service to our customers. They inspire and lead a diverse team of staff and volunteers, creating a caring and supportive environment for people to flourish. Our charity shops are vital in raising funds from the sale of pre‑loved, donated stock to fund Mind's vital mental health support services. But they are more than just shops, they play a vital role in local communities across England and Wales, offering a warm and welcoming place for people to shop, volunteer, or access our mental health information. As a Shop Manager, you'll have the opportunity to drive change and make an impact, in a varied role where no day is ever the same! You’ll also have opportunities to take ownership of your development, with support to help you reach your ambitions, in whatever ever way this looks like for you. We actively look for opportunities to learn and grow so we can do better for the people who need us. You’ll be valued for the unique contribution that you can bring.
