Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…
At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 26 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Our charity shops and online selling platforms play a significant role in raising funds to enable us to provide our services.
About the role
We have an exciting opportunity to join our growing Retail team in our Henley in Arden charity shop.
Our brilliant Charity Shop Managers:
- Manage and recruit volunteers
- Oversee shop layouts and displays
- Generate high-quality stock donations
- Undertake administration
- Maximise sales, e.g. through Gift Aid and our Lottery
Our charity shops are open 6-7 days per week, so your rota will include some weekends and bank holidays.
About you
We would love to hear from you if you have:
- Retail experience
- Experience of leading a team of volunteers
- Confidence in calculating figures and working with financial targets
- The right to work in the UK (we cannot provide sponsorship).
An enhanced DBS check including the children’s barred list will be required for this role, because it involves managing volunteers under the age of 16. We will arrange and cover the cost of this check, if you’re offered the job.
