We are a busy and vibrant local charity, established in 1998, with a good reputation which we have worked hard to establish and maintain – we are looking for a depot manager for our Dorchester branch.
You will be responsible for the day to day running of a Dorset Reclaim depot, including:-
* the delivery and collection schedules
* storage & display of goods to our retail customers
* operation of customer reception and administrative systems
* direction and guidance of staff and volunteers
* maintaining a safe working environment
* liaison with external agencies
* completing returns and overseeing financial matters
This is not a typical "desk job"; you will be required to lead from the front and often work hands on with those around you. You will need to display a high level of maturity and be very flexible in your approach to those you work with and the service the charity provides. You will certainly need to have a sense of humour and enjoy the humour of those around you.
There is a need for exceptional communication skills and be committed to delivering our services to a high standard.
This role is always busy and varied, it can be fun or even frustrating, and often exhausting, but you will not be bored. Working with a very diverse group of people, several vehicles and a full depot ensures there will always be a challenge to be met and you will be the one who has to meet it.
We recognize that you may have many of the skills we are looking for, but may not have worked in a similar environment – in fact, we can't think of many similar environments We will provide the necessary training and encouragement if you provide the enthusiasm.
If you are looking for a predictable management job in a large organization with a very structured approach then this may not be for you. We cannot offer the best salary or perks but if you want something a little different, to have the job satisfaction of working for a local charity and room to be creative, we look forward to hearing from you.
