A very generous holiday allowance and unlike many other retailers, you won’t have to work over the Christmas/New Year period, Easter or Bank Holidays.

Are you looking for a career with a real purpose and meaning, where you can add value and make an enormous difference to the lives of local people?

Are you passionate about sustainable shopping, selling good quality second-hand goods especially furniture and fashion?

Previous experience of charity retail is NOT essential, but you will enjoy working in a customer facing environment such as customer service, retail or front of house, be people focused and wish to hold a key role within the shop team.

The role is physical, demanding and very rewarding as our shop teams are the link between the Hospice and our supporters and local community.
