Retail Assistant Manager - Caversham

Vacancy details

"Working with a great retail team"

We are recruiting for a Retail Assistant Manager to join our team for our shop in Caversham shop - a modern store full of pre-loved items.

So, yes, charity retail. Its not what you think for a start. Not for us anyway. Firstly, we only sell fashion and home furnishings that are right on trend and stores are set up to compete on the high street with anyone else. The role is just as commercial and just as challenging as anywhere and Retail Assistant Managers are expected to utilise all their previous visual and fashion experience to assist in setting up and running a commercially viable business.

You will be dedicated and of course working in retail is something you love but for you, there needs to be more to it. You’re visual and creative, excellent service and great standards are second nature and you want your store to be the best it can be but you also want to give something back.

We offer a great range of employee schemes and benefits, including generous annual leave, EAP, access to NHS pension scheme if eligible, Blue Light Discount Card and so much more!

Please note - If you are successful at interview stage we will agree a mutually suitable time for you to attend a short trial shift (1 to 2 hours) where you will be able to gain a greater understanding about the role, our ways of working and our culture. After this session a final decision will be made.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Claire Done, Area Retail Manager on 07495 962753 (please only call durring office hours - Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 5.00) or email claire.done@thameshospiceshops.org.
