Join us as an Assistant Shop Manager (Maternity Cover) in the Wokingham shop and become an ambassador for our charity!

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 is a fixed-term (12-months), part-time role for 30 hours per week. In return we can offer you a salary of £17,706 – £19,236 per annum.

This shop is open Monday to Sunday 09:30am – 17:00pm. 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.

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 on the Thursday 9th November 2023.
