This role matters: We’re looking for an Assistant Manager to join our Morecambe Furniture Shop team, could it be you? This is a busy retail outlet which generates vital income for St John’s Hospice from donated stock.
* This role is for 28 hours per week, working 4 out of 7 days (the salary is based on 28 hours / week).
This is a role that would suit someone with strong merchandising skills where you can use your retail flair to drive standards and sales. If you have an interest and knowledge of pre-loved goods and enjoy working with people, and you are passionate about excellent customer service, then we’d really like to hear from you.
Elaine recently joined the Shops team as an Assistant Manager, here’s what she has to say about her role:
“My name is Elaine and I have been employed as Assistant Shop Manager (Furniture) since May 2024. I enjoyed a warm welcome and have felt very much part of the team since day one. The support I received from my manager and the wider team has really helped me to settle in. Equally, the training has given me the practical tools needed. Every day is different and I enjoy all the various aspects of the role but for me the best bit is the 'feel good factor' – the job satisfaction you get from knowing what you do is helping others.”
If you would like to join our mission to be a sustainable retail force on the high street, whilst raising vital income for the Hospice and the people in our community who need us, please get in touch.
