Deputy Store Manager

As deputy manager you will support the manager to:

• Maintain great standards to give our customers and donors an excellent shopping service
• Help to manage a team of paid staff and volunteers, including promoting volunteer recruitment opportunities
• Maintain good relations with the general public, the wider retail and logistics teams as well as colleagues across the whole Hospice
• Complete any required paperwork.
• Work as part of the Burnham Retail Hospice Team across all three shops if needed.

This a great opportunity for someone who enjoys retail and working in a fast-paced environment. You will need to have enthusiasm, leadership and motivational skills, be customer orientated, and target focussed, and enjoy working with a diverse range of products and people.

You will be required to complete paperwork and therefore a working knowledge of Microsoft Office products is desirable. It would also be desirable to have experience in the day-to-day management of a shop, including stock management, merchandising, health and safety and financial procedures.

In return, we offer:

• 6.6 weeks holiday (increases with service)
• Contributory pension/NHS transferable
• Healthcare discount scheme
• Employee Assistance programme
• Subsidised bus travel with First Bus Commuter Travel Club
• Cycle to Work scheme

As you may be required to supervise volunteers under the age of 18 years, we ask our shop staff to have an Enhanced DBS certificate (which we will arrange and pay for).
