Our shops are instrumental in providing a sustainable source of income to support Octavia’s vital work in the community, we are a local charity supporting local people and we're looking for motivated, passionate individuals to be part of our ambitious plans.

If you have experience working in charity retail as an employee or volunteer, or you have experience in high street retail looking to move into charity, this could be a great move for you.

  • Recruiting, developing and motivating a high performing, result driven team to support in all aspects of running a charity shop successfully
  • Analysing customer profiles, buying trends and competitive information to drive business, communicate and provide feedback to Area Manager
  • Overseeing the execution and processing of incoming and outgoing donations
  • Ensuring the visual presentation of the shop always meets or exceeds Octavia standards
  • Communicating, managing and executing all community engagement initiatives and events within budget and according to all policies and procedures
  • Building relationships with the local community, recognising potential growth for volunteering and increasing donations
  • Attending and contributing to regular team meetings and training, sharing best practise with Octavia’s core values
  • As a brand ambassador for Octavia, supporting all fundraising activity and championing the Community engagement

We are looking for an experienced shop manager with strong commercial acumen, who understands what is needed to make a charity shop profitable. You will have excellent customer and people management skills with the ability to drive sales, donations, gift aid and also manage a team of volunteers. We are also looking for:

  • Experience working within a charity retail shop either as an employee or volunteer or a background in high street retail
  • Excellent customer service, team working and communication skills
  • Knowledge of displaying, selling and promoting high-end luxury items
  • Commercial awareness and ability to create a customer journey to the highest level
  • Ability to stay calm under pressure, be a problem solver and decision maker
  • Good level of numeracy
  • Ability to create high end visual displays and shop layout
  • At least two year’s previous experience in a retail environment

This is a 35 hour per week role paying an annual salary of £26,523 plus fantastic benefits including up to 10% pension contributions and the opportunity to work in a supportive and collaborative team. Our shops are open Monday to Sunday and you will share the responsibility of opening your shop with your Assistant Manager.

Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. Everyone is welcome.

Early application is encouraged as we will review applications throughout the advertising period and reserve the right to close the advert early.
