Area Support Manager

Vacancy details

Are you looking for an opportunity to gain experience in multi-site retail management in a busy and vibrant environment?

Are you looking for a varied role where no two days are the same?

We are recruiting for an Area Support Manager to support our Area Retail Managers in managing our Thames Hospice shops on a needs-led basis.

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 managers are expected to utilise all their previous visual and fashion experience to help run 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 and your people to be the best they can be but you also want to give something back.

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.

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!

Care to be part of it?
