Join us as an Assistant Shop Manager in the Carterton 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 permanent part-time role for 22.5 hours per week. In return we can offer you a salary of £13,279.50 – £14,427 per annum.

Some of our shops are open 7 days-a-week and the role will require some flexibility. The Carterton shop opening times are Monday – 09:00-16:30, Tuesday – Closed, Wednesday to Saturday 09:00-16:30, Sunday – Closed.

Please note, the advert may close early if enough applications are received. We therefore advise you to apply early if interested.

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 Thursday 30th November 2023.

Helen and Douglas House is a registered hospice charity based in Oxford, providing palliative, respite, end-of-life and bereavement care to life-limited children and their families. Hospice care is often profoundly misunderstood: the work we do is uplifting, positive and the impact we have is life changing! Our hospice is a bright, dynamic, and joyful place to work, providing a lovely outdoor garden space for our patients and staff to both enjoy. We foster a climate where team members feel able to openly question, debate and appropriately challenge their own and the practice of others to achieve clinical excellence.
