Furniture Sales & Logistics Manager

If you are looking for a new challenge in a supportive environment,
then this is the role for you…

Contrary to the belief that Hospices are sad places to work, this is certainly not the case here at St Andrew's Hospice. We offer a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment where our patients, families and staff are at the heart of everything we do, in striving to make each day count for them.

The charity has a portfolio of over 20 retail units situated across the county and into the East Riding of Yorkshire, who collectively generate over 40% of the charity's total income. The retail business includes a distribution warehouse, fleet of delivery vehicles, online trading presence and a range of general and specialist shops across the county and beyond.

This role requires the candidate to lead and operationally manage the Furniture Store's Teams to achieve income goals, provide excellent service and maintain high standards of safety, housekeeping and risk management. Working alongside a friendly team of volunteers, the shop manager ensures that the outlet is well run, well-stocked, safe, profitable and maintains the excellent reputation of the hospice through welcoming and thanking donors and those who volunteer their time.

The role is also responsible for the new goods furniture strategy and developing this offer within the business as well as managing the furniture logistics activities to ensure timely collections and deliveries

Although furniture sales retail experience would be an advantage, the role would also suit someone with a solid foundation in general retailing experience and / or a strong business background. Training will be provided. As this role can be occasionally asked to cover other shops, a full driving licence and access to a car is desirable., Disability Confident
