Assistant Shop Manager – Windsor

The Vacancy:

Join us as an Assistant Shop Manager in the Windsor shop and become an ambassador for our charity! We have two permanent positions available: 37.5 and 30 hours per week.

You will join a busy shop and will work alongside a team of volunteers helping maximise the shop’s sales profits. Great customer service is crucial to what we do, so your previous experience in mainstream or charity retail background will help you hit the ground running.

To thrive in this role, you will need a good eye for detail, strong organisational and IT skills, and previous experience of managing staff teams in a variety of situations. You will be supported by the Shop Manager and Area Manager to achieve your objectives.

This shop is open 7 days a week and the role will require you to work regular weekends. Flexibility is required as working patterns will change regularly, subject to the needs of the business and the levels of staff and volunteers available to work. The successful candidate will be able to claim up to £20.00 per day parking allowance.

We are committed to getting the best out of our applicants and employees. We have therefore made the commitment to sharing interview questions prior to interview. Should you be offered an interview, we will share interview questions with you in advance. Interviews will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams.
