United Kingdom Charitynorth Devon Hospice Full time

We’re looking for a dedicated Shop Manager to lead our wonderful store in Wilmslow. Situated in the heart of the community, our shop enjoys fantastic support from loyal customers and generous donations.

At Blue Cross, our shops are more than just retail spaces—they’re vibrant hubs supporting our mission to care for animals in need.

More about the role

Blue Cross isn’t just a workplace — it’s a community with a shared passion for animals and a commitment to making a difference. Here, you’ll find a supportive and inclusive environment where your skills are valued, your ideas are heard, and your contributions are celebrated.

With opportunities for growth and development, competitive benefits, and a team dedicated to our mission, Blue Cross offers more than just a job—it offers a chance to be part of something meaningful and rewarding.

As our Shop Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our Wilmslow store, driving sales, fostering community connections, and ensuring your shop runs smoothly.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Inspiring and motivating your wonderful team of volunteers, providing guidance and support to ensure everyone shines.
  • Creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers, delivering exceptional service and representing Blue Cross with pride.
  • Working towards sales targets and maximising profits.
  • Building strong community ties.
  • Keeping things running smoothly with efficient paperwork, accurate data management, and adherence to retail standards.
  • Maintaining optimal stock levels, ensuring our shelves are always full of treasures for our customers.
  • Prioritising the safety of our team and customers, following all health and safety protocols with care and diligence.

Your normal working pattern will change each week, subject to the needs of the business and the levels of staff and volunteers available to work and will involve a significant element of weekend working.

Due to the nature of the role this may involve some lone working and you will need to be willing to provide support and work at other shops as required.

About you

You’ll have previous experience in retail management and able to offer effective support and leadership to your team. As a motivating manager and adept team builder, you’ll harness the potential of your staff, working closely with the Assistant Shop Manager to ensure robust management for the shop and its team.

Your exceptional interpersonal skills will enable you to communicate effectively with a diverse range of individuals, including your team and customers. With a flexible, positive attitude, creative ingenuity, and a drive to succeed, you’ll thrive in this role.

  • Commercial awareness to deliver sales
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build strong external relationships
  • Good IT skills and a basic understanding of finance
  • Good people and time management skills
  • Ability to work on own initiative and to make business decisions as required
  • Able to interpret sales data and set action plans accordingly
  • Strong eye for detail and ensuring highest standards of presentation are achieved
  • Good organisational skills with the ability to plan and prioritise workload for yourself and the shop team
  • The ability to demonstrate, understanding and apply our Blue Cross values

Although not essential, it would be great if you had:
