At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 25 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire., We have an exciting opportunity for two Relief Shop Managers to join our friendly, growing and successful retail team.

- Maximising sales through Gift Aid and our fundraising lottery
This role will support our work by ensuring the smooth running of our charity shops, which fund the care of 1 in 4 of our patients.
