Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops.

Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community.

We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much-loved presence on high streets across the country - with a range of innovative shops, including boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores.

As a member of the retail team, you'll be helping us inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.

You will also be contributing to drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

Desirable pieces to be found

Bric-a-brac is also a best-seller at our shop.
