You are commercially savvy with a good understanding of financial targets and measures, using your initiative to achieve fantastic results.
You have proven IT skills.
You like to be flexible (Shop hours are Mon-Sat 9-5, Sun 10-4)

At The British Red Cross, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our staff and volunteers. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination. We do this through regular data reporting, and the support of our internal Race and Equality Network (REEN), LGBT+ Network, our Disability and Wellness Network (DAWN), Gender Network, Carers Network and Youth Network.
