We're looking for an inspirational people person to join us as an Assistant Shop Manager in our
Stockbridge shop. This is an exciting opportunity, and we'd like you to join us to help
raise vital funds for homeless and badly housed people.
You will work closely with the Shop Manager to ensure the shop looks welcoming, visually appealing and the team of
volunteers are motivated and keen to engage with customers and maximise sales.
About the role
You will assist the Shop Manager in the recruitment, support and development of a strong community focused shop team
and empower them to maximise Shelter's income. Representing Shelter in your local community, ensuring that
you and your team share your knowledge of Shelter's cause with customers, volunteers, donors and potential
Shelter clients will also be important aspects of the role. You will always ensure a safe, clean, bright and
happy environment for your team to work in and for your customers to shop in, in turn attracting potential
donors and volunteers.
About you
You are a naturally energetic person with an enthusiasm for managing and empowering people. You know how to recruit
and develop a team of volunteers, and your extraordinary motivational skills will enable you to inspire your
team to increase sales and control costs. Above all, you are ready to take on a new challenge and have a keen
interest in Shelter's cause.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and
interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to
work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support
and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re
here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself
and achieve success based only on your merit.
About Shelter
Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated
by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything,
We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are
striving to achieve.
Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be
representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people
decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism
both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
