Be there when it matters. 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.
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.
In retail most work every weekend, our managers mainly work only 1 in 2. We don't expect our teams to work past 5.15 in most of our shops. The earliest we start is 8.45am. We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day off.
We sell a vast array of items generously donated to us including furniture, clothing, bric-a-brac and electrical items. We also sell a range of brand new items, exclusive to Sue Ryder, including dining chairs, soft furnishings, greetings cards and even wool! All donations are gratefully received and can easily be dropped via the front door. There is free parking at the front of the shop. We will be offering a free furniture collection service.
