You’ll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are.

What will I be doing?

• Guiding, inspiring and engaging a team of paid staff and volunteers. This includes recruitment, retention and development of a diverse shop team.

• Taking ownership and responsibility for commercial running of your store including display and merchandising, stock management, maintaining shop standards, store layout, sales and income.

• Leading by example and providing excellent customer and supporter service.

• Maximising profit through effective cost control and sales.

• Creating relationships with your local community and Cancer Research UK colleagues.

• Organising and running creative fundraising events for your store to achieve fundraising targets.

• Maintaining compliance with health and safety, safeguarding, security, administration and HR policies.

• Working knowledge of what makes great customer service.

• Adaptability in changing situations, including being able to work effectively independently.

• An awareness of the price, value and worth of items.

• Flexibility, our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. Whilst a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.

What will I gain?

We make sure you are supported by a generous salary and benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.
