Due to internal succession we have an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Manager to join our team, could it be you? Our Morecambe Furniture Shop in the Arndale Centre is a busy retail outlet which generates vital income for St John’s Hospice from donated stock.
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) for about 6 months. 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.
This role would suit someone with strong merchandising skills where you can use your retail flair to drive standards and sales. We are proud to have Shops across the Lancaster and Morecambe area, as well as Furniture shops in both Garstang and Kendal, and it is essential you would be able to travel to different locations as and when required to provide support.
Why work for St John’s Hospice Shops?
