You’ll work closely with the Retail Operations Manager and a team of Shop Managers and Volunteers, providing coaching, leadership, and operational guidance to achieve ambitious income and engagement goals.
It’s a brilliant fit for someone confident in leading through people, balancing commercial focus with compassion, and motivating diverse teams to deliver results in a values-driven environment.

* Promoting operational excellence, safeguarding, and health & safety compliance
* Fostering a culture of inclusion, teamwork, and positive community engagement
Key Responsibilities
* Achieve agreed regional income and expenditure targets
* Lead, motivate, and performance-manage shop teams
* Identify under-performance and implement improvement plans
* Develop and embed consistent retail standards across all locations

What You’ll Get
* up to £35,000 per annum
* 28 days’ annual leave + Bank Holidays

Due to the nature of the role and organisation, the successful candidate will need to travel approximately three days per week across the Yorkshire and Greater Manchester region. A valid driving licence is required. Travel expenses will be covered, and a company car will be available once transferred from the current postholder.
