The Challenge, Should You Accept it..
We are so proud of what we do, and we know you will be to. Our shops, whether traditional bricks and mortar or Online are absolutely key to funding the Hospice and enabling it to be the incredible place it is. And you could be part of that.
With a rich, diverse history, which began back in 1979with our founders, we’ve been making a difference ever since.
Today our free care supports 2,000 local people and their families, in Herts and Bucks. We truly are a community hospice built and funded by the community, to serve the community.
Our shops are well loved local destinations known for amazing donations, outstanding standards and a warm welcome. Our creative and hard working shop teams, together with the incredible donations we receive from the local community, are key to our success. With all the profits going to supporting the work of the Hospice in the community you would be making a real difference.

People are at the heart of everything we do. And you would be no different. We are all vital cogs in delivering our care and support.
We’re looking for a Relief Deputy Shop Manager to join our bank team and provide relief cover to our shops as required, sometimes at the drop of a hat, during periods of staff absences.
