  • Some experience of small-scale retail and commerce operations.
  • An inclusive and collaborative leadership style with an ability to support, nurture, develop, motivate and inspire small, paid and voluntary, teams and individuals.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities, having an eye for detail and the ability to work under pressure and delegate effectively.
  • Self-motivated, independent worker able to showcase their commitment to EDI.

We value the positive impact greater representation will have on our charity. It's our goal to become an inclusive place to work and for our staff and volunteers to reflect our city.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all lived experiences and particularly those that are not well represented in our sector.

Applications will be in the form of a cover letter and CV with two referees.
