Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future.

When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Role
Located in Chester, this is a large busy shop in a brilliant location, with a vibrant community! As Store Manager, you'll be leading and motivating a diverse, passionate and experienced volunteer team, as well as focusing on maintaining standards and building strong connections within the local community to ensure the shop's continued success.

You'll bring:
- Proven experience leading and motivating teams, ideally having managed volunteers, or a retail team previously
- A strong understanding of what good looks like in a busy and successful community-led shop, ideally with some experience within Retail or a clear passion for sustainable fashion and knowledge of products and trends
- A can-do attitude and ability to approach challenges in a positive way, knowing when to reach out for support and guidance where you need it.
Previous charity retail experience is ideal, but not essential. If you have transferable leadership skills or experience managing volunteers in other settings and are looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you!
Ways of Working: On-site – this role will be based in the Chester shop. The shop is currently open Mon-Sat 9am-5pm. We're looking for someone able to work 5 days (35 hours) per week to include some weekend working.

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

‘’Our incredible youth centres, that provide life-changing support to tens of thousands of young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, have been running for over a decade. From the building to the facilities, to the highly skilled and dedicated youth workers and volunteers; a Youth Zone is an investment in young people that sends a clear message to them about their worth. We want them to know they are valued, and their potential is seen’’.
OnSide is determined to make sure that all young people have the opportunity to shine. The chance to discover their passion and their purpose.
This national youth charity transforms the lives of young people in some of the most disadvantaged areas across the UK. Do you want to play a pivotal role in the development of another state-of-the-art, multimillion-pound youth centre that will energise and inspire yet more young people?
As OnSide unlocks the next transformational phase of its journey, it needs a fundraising expert to help it further achieve its mission and expand its reach. Could this be you?
The Role
One in three young people are growing up below the poverty line in Barnsley, leading to physical and mental health struggles, and significantly higher numbers of hospital admissions as a result.

We know how much difference a Health Play Specialist can make to children who are
seriously ill and for a lot of hospitals and community healthcare settings these roles can fall by
the wayside when budgets are critically tight. Our pilot Starlight Health Play Specialist project
has now demonstrated the positive impact of play staff for babies, children and families.
We’ve already learned so much and are designing an impact assessment tool with the
practitioners. Although the setup of the project is done, there is lots of learning still to do and
the manager of this work will facilitate and maximise this learning.
Starlight Health Play Specialists not only create the time, space and opportunity for children to
play, whether that’s for preparation for procedures, management of anxiety, entertainment
during long periods of boredom or aiding recovery. They carry out on-the-ground research,
measure impact of activities, sharing their learning with us and help us to really understand
what makes a brilliant Health Play Specialist and develop standards and training.They are
beacons of good practice, championing and protecting play in healthcare – and that is where
you, our new Play Specialist Programme Manager, come in.
