- Working alongside the superstore management team to meet agreed targets for donated stock, cash, benchmark gift aid, average selling price, sell through and stock processing.
- Leading by example and providing excellent customer and supporter service.
- Supporting the organisation and delivery of creative fundraising events for your store
- Deputising for the superstore management team by assuming additional responsibilities including supervision of colleagues and volunteers, assisting with team training and undertaking keyholder responsibilities when required.
What skills will I need?
- Experience of supervising and inspiring a diverse team of people.
- Comfort working in a vibrant and fast-paced customer facing environment.
- The ability to create relationships and communicate well.
- Commercial awareness.
- Adaptability to changing situations.
- Creativity and an ability to use your initiative and provide direction to a team.
- And ideally, experience in a retail role, an understanding of brands and/or online marketplace, and experience of working within sales and profit targets.
