- provide additional management relief cover in retail outlets. This will include days off, annual leave, new shop openings and vacancies.
- provide a high standard of customer service and satisfaction at all times to both external and internal customers.
- promote and monitor Gift Aid.
- maintain a high standard of merchandising, layout and display.
- work with and manage volunteers who are integral to our business.
Our ideal candidates will have proven retail management experience and flexibility in their working hours/days, as is the ability to work up to a maximum of 37.5 hours per week when required.
The hospice offers a generous holiday allowance, pension and other staff benefits.
