Store Assistant Manager - Dulwich

Do you have a passion for quality retailing, being part of your local community, and want to be a part of the sustainable fashion movement?

If this sounds like you, come and join the trading team at St Christopher’s where you will be working in one of our 20+ high street stores across South East London.

Job Title: Store Assistant Manager
Salary: £13.34 p/hr
Employment

Terms:

Flexible working pattern based on a Monday – Sunday 7-day rota.
Location: Dulwich and Surrounding area

You’ll be reporting into the Retail Manager and taking on tasks allocated by them when you’re working together, or you’ll be taking on leadership duties in their absence and running the store. This includes opening and closing responsibilities.

You’ll be overseeing all areas of our stock journey, from sorting, pricing, and displaying donations to making a sale. Expect a varied role where no two days are the same and you see items you’ve never seen before every day.

This is a management position and includes supervising a team of extraordinary volunteers. They are all critical to success and it’ll be your job to create a welcoming environment for everyone while still getting the job done.

• Good experience in a busy, hands‑on environment where you are used to getting things done at pace.
• Experience in a customer facing environment where you’ve delivered great customer service throughout your working day.
• Retail experience is desirable but not essential.
• Management or supervisory experience would be advantageous.
• Great people skills and the ability to lead and supervise a group of superstar volunteers.
• Ability to problem‑solve and work under pressure while being self‑motivated and driven.

We are proud to offer world class palliative and end of life care to everyone who needs it, whenever or wherever that may be. We are also here for the people closest to you, as we often say, we’re more than just a hospice. We are proud of our community programmes that offer practical, emotional and spiritual support to over 7,500 people in the local area, most of whom we will help to continue living at home.

Being part of the retail and trading arm of the Hospice means raising vital funds to support this mission.
