Deputy Shop Manager

The Role of our Deputy Shop Managers

Commercially aware and constantly looking for new business opportunities, deputy shop managers motivate their teams and create a safe and energised work environment. They have high standards, a strong drive to achieve results and are accountable for their business.

• Motivate teams and create a safe, energised work environment.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities.
• Maintain high standards and achieve results.
• Be accountable for shop performance.
• Delegate tasks and work closely with volunteers.
• Communicate effectively and foster creativity.
• Attract new supporters daily.

Often the only paid member of staff, our managers and deputy managers are comfortable in this environment, really enjoy working with others and are great at delegating to their teams.

Excellent communicators, they are creative, and always look for opportunities to attract new supporters every day.

Oxfam operates a volunteer operating model, in which volunteers are empowered to take over most tasks within the shop, including running the shop in the manager’s absence.

Our Values and Commitment to Safeguarding:
Oxfam is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behaviour at work including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, lack of integrity and financial misconduct; and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. Oxfam expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment through our code of conduct. We place a high priority on ensuring that only those who share and demonstrate our values are recruited to work for us.
