Assistant Shop Manager - Cirencester

Join us as an Assistant Shop Manager in our Cirencester shop and become an ambassador for our charity! We have a permanent part time position available working 22.5 hours per week.

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 previous experience of charity retail would help you hit the ground running.

Full training will be provided, we are keen to work with people that have the right attitude so willingness to learn specific skills is equally as important as past experience. To thrive in this role, you will need a good eye for detail, strong organisational and IT skills, and the capability to manage volunteer teams in a variety of situations. You will be supported by the Shop Manager and Area Manager to achieve your objectives in these areas

This shop is open 6 days a week and the role will require you to work Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. Flexibility is required as working patterns will change regularly, subject to the needs of the business and the levels of volunteers available to work.

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.
