Did you know good things come to those shop second hand?

Well even better things happen to those who sell second hand for an ambitious local hospice. Help our charity partner to put the brakes on fast fashion and come and join their ambitious team at an exciting time just after the launch of their new flag ship store in Hexham.

Due to my clients expansion plans, we are looking for someone who can support the existing retail operation in the absence of the Shop Managers. Working across multiple sites, this role will provide the candidate with an excellent opportunity to train across the charities retail operation and be in situ to move to a permanent location as they open new shops across the catchment area.

No two days will be the same in this role, working across multiple sites you will lead volunteer teams to ensure the effective operation of the shops to maximise profit from donated goods and household items. This is a perfect role for someone who has worked in a fast-paced retail or hospitality environment.

Help us raise vital funds to provide end of life nursing care, hospital transport and bereavement support across West Northumberland.

Duties include:

• Prepare stock through sorting, evaluating and pricing; then ensuring we sell in the most appropriate revenue stream i.e. shop floor, eBay or auction to maximise profit.
• Support Shop Managers with volunteer recruitment, training and retention to ensure optimum levels of support.
• Provide outstanding customer service to customers, creating a positive and welcoming environment in order to maximise sales opportunities.

Please note that a DBS basic disclosure check will be undertaken as part of my client’s pre-employment screening for the successful candidate.

This is an exciting time to join this well-established non-profitable organisation and be part of the continuing success and growth of the retail part of the charity.
