We are opening a new shop and have a number of fantastic opportunities for a deputy shop manager.

Our goal is to generate funds for the hospice so we can continue to deliver exceptional care.

As a member of the management team you need to be motivated to help your store achieve its targets and to share this drive and enthusiasm with your team of volunteers. You will be expected to work with your volunteers to deliver a fantastic experience for our customers and donors.

These roles are HANDS ON! You will be required to sort donations and prepare clothing for sale which will include tagging and pricing items before placing them on the shop floor.

This is a hugely exciting time to join the Community Hospice Retail team as we transform our retail network. We have big ambitions and we are looking to recruit people who are highly motivated, enthusiastic and target driven, with excellent communication skills.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to inclusion. We celebrate and embrace diversity and thus encourage applications from a variety of backgrounds, perspective, knowledge and skills

Please note that only short-listed candidates will be contacted.

The Organisation:
The Hardman Trust is the only UK charity focused specifically on the needs of people on long term sentences. We support people during their sentence, as they prepare for release, and as they settle back into the community. Our vision is a future where everyone can achieve their potential within and beyond prison.

To find out more about The Hardman Trust, visit our website.

The Role:
The Hardman Trust is at an exciting point in its development as it celebrates the arrival of its new team, the realisation of its first ever strategy and looks forward to the next phase of its journey.

Our recently successful applications to both the Lottery (Reaching Communities) and the City Bridge Trust means we will continue to be part-funded by them until 2027. Deeply rooted in the criminal justice sector, we plan to develop further our programme of support for those on long sentences both within and, we hope, beyond prison too; we aim to extend the reach and deepen the impact of our support and grants; and attract new partnerships with funders and like-minded third sector organisations. We have recently completed a merger with another charity and are open to further such mergers in the future.
