Lead with purpose. Inspire people. Drive change. Are you an experienced senior leader looking for an opportunity to make a genuine difference? Our charity partner is seeking an ambitious and commercially minded Branch Manager to lead the South East Somerset Branch. This is a unique leadership role, offering the opportunity to shape the future of a well-established charity dedicated to improving animal welfare across the local community.
Working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will provide strategic leadership across every aspect of the Branch, ensuring it is financially sustainable, operationally effective and well positioned for future growth.
About the Role
This is a varied and rewarding leadership position where you will oversee all Branch operations, including retail, animal welfare services, finance, fundraising, property, governance, compliance and people management. Leading a team of experienced managers, you will create a positive, high-performing culture, develop new opportunities to grow income and ensure excellent standards of service across all Branch activities. As the senior operational leader, you will also work in partnership with the Board of Trustees to deliver the Branch's strategic objectives, providing insight, advice and leadership to help shape its future.
About You
We are looking for an experienced leader who can demonstrate success in managing complex operations and developing high-performing teams. You will be able to evidence experience in:
- Senior operational or organisational leadership
- Managing budgets and delivering strong financial performance
- Leading, motivating and developing managers, staff and volunteers
- Driving organisational performance and continuous improvement
- Building effective relationships with senior stakeholders, Boards or Trustees
- Developing new income opportunities and supporting long-term sustainability
- Managing multiple priorities in a dynamic environment
Experience within the charity sector, retail, charity retail or other customer-focused, multi-site organisations would be highly advantageous. However, we are equally interested in hearing from candidates with transferable leadership experience who share the organisation's values and are passionate about making a difference.
Why Join Us?
This is far more than a management role; it's an opportunity to lead an organisation that has a lasting impact on the lives of animals and the communities they serve. You will work alongside dedicated Trustees, passionate colleagues and committed volunteers, helping to shape the future of the Branch while ensuring every decision supports the charitable mission. If you are an inspiring leader with commercial awareness, strategic vision and a passion for creating positive change, we would love to hear from you. Join us and help build a stronger future for animal welfare across South East Somerset.
