Retail Manager 37.5hrs

Retail Manager

The role:

We are looking for an experienced, innovative, dynamic Retail Manager who is looking for their next career move and wants the autonomy of running their very own large-scale shop and Donation Centre, whilst being supported by an organisation that is at the top of their game within the charity retail market.

Due to a rapid development programme that has witnessed Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL) open new concept Donation Centres over the past year, which have all seen great success, we are looking for a talented, passionate Retail Manager to run our latest Donation Centre in Hull.

Entrepreneurial by nature, you will be responsible for the day to day running of the business. Paid employees will assist in the delivery of this service but you will also need to recruit and maintain a bank of skilled and general volunteers who will be able to collect and sort clothing, repair and up cycle electrical and furniture items ensuring that we provide a high-quality service to our donors, customers and the community. This role will also include establishing links with local businesses and individuals within the community, not only to provide donations but who can volunteer time to offer skills and train other people.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Have a dynamic leadership style with an appetite for success
• Have previous operational/retail management experience
• A passion for developing people
• Fantastic ideas for partnerships to deliver re-use and repair services with the local connections and knowledge to make them happen
• An interest in the environment and sustainability
• An engaging personality and the desire to succeed
