Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much‑loved presence on high streets across the country – with a range of innovative shops, including boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores. As a member of the retail team you’ll be helping us Inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. You will also be contributing to drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

We understand our people are our most important asset and work hard to make sure you feel valued and included as part of a team. In retail most work every weekend; our managers mainly work only 1 in 2. We don't expect our teams to work past 5:15 in most of our shops. The earliest we start is 8:45 am. We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day off.

Situated on the edge of a bustling historic market town, our Sue Ryder Fakenham superstore offers a fantastic range of electrical, furniture, white and homeware goods. Working in partnership with a well‑known furniture retailer and local firm Aldiss, we offer a wide range of pre‑loved goods to furnish every room of the house, spanning everything from large furniture items and soft furnishings to pictures and small electricals – not to mention little knick‑knacks to make a house a home.

We also stock new goods with an extensive range from furniture to small gifts.
