Are you looking to join a well-supported charity in a management role? We are looking for an Assistant Shop Manager to join us in Wokingham, re-imagining the vision for the store for the local community!
More about the role
As an Assistant Shop Manager, you will use your experience in retail management and play a crucial role in our shop's daily operations.

Our shops open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00. This role is required for 14 hours per week, typically over 2 days. A rota could include rotating Saturdays and a day off during the week (day varies). Hours are determined by business need, so flexibility is required. This role will include Bank Holiday and weekend working.
