We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Shop Manager to lead one of our busy retail stores. This is your chance to run a shop where every sale makes a real difference, while building a strong team, creating a welcoming space, and driving great results.
No two days are the same. You’ll be hands‑on, visible on the shop floor, and confident in taking ownership of performance, people, and standards.
This role is based in one of our larger shops, which includes a dedicated furniture department. As Shop Manager, you’ll oversee a higher volume of stock, larger premises, and a broader range of operations, including furniture donations, collections, and deliveries. You’ll lead a larger team and manage more complex logistics, making this a varied and fast‑paced role.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll take full responsibility for the day‑to‑day running of the shop, including:
* Driving sales and delivering against income targets
* Creating an inviting, well‑presented shop through strong merchandising and displays
* Managing stock effectively to maximise value and minimise loss
* Leading, developing, and motivating a team of staff and volunteers
* Building great relationships with customers and the local community
* Promoting the shop and growing donations and footfall
* Making sure the shop is safe, secure, and compliant with policies and procedures
* Keeping on top of administration, reporting, and financial processes
You’ll also play a key role in spotting opportunities to improve performance – whether that’s through pricing, promotions, layout, or new ideas.
About you
You’ll bring a mix of retail experience, leadership ability, and people skills, including:
* Previous experience in a retail or customer‑facing environment
* Experience managing or supervising a team
* A track record of working to sales targets and managing budgets
* Strong organisational and admin skills
* Confidence using data and reports to make decisions
* A hands‑on approach with a positive “can do” attitude
You’ll also be someone who:
* Builds strong relationships with customers, colleagues, and volunteers
* Communicates clearly and gets things done
* Is adaptable and responds well to change
* Leads by example and brings energy to the team
This is more than just a retail role. You’ll be:
* Running your own shop with real autonomy
* Leading a committed and supportive team
* Making a genuine impact in your community
* Developing your skills in retail management, leadership, and commercial awareness
