We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone who shares our vision, someone like you.
We’re looking for an inspiring area support manager to join Cancer Research UK’s trading team. You’ll be acting as an ambassador for Cancer Research UK, supporting the Area Manager and the area team to maximise income through people, resources and stock.
You’ll also be surrounded by people who are as dedicated to beating cancer as you are.
What will I be doing?
Playing an integral part in the achievement of key performance indicators across the area. These include income, expenditure budgets, processing targets, average selling price, sell through rates, fundraising and customer service.
Supporting the commercial running of your area and making commercial decisions based on data.
Being aware of trends on the high street, and amongst charity retailers, and applying that knowledge and learning to your area.
Supporting the Area Manager and area teams in areas such as recruitment, development, retention, performance management, equality and diversity and fundraising.
Managing stock management and stock initiatives across the area. This includes generating quality donated goods, stock selection and distribution and pricing to maximise income.
Assisting with the implementation of national volunteer recruitment campaigns and supporting other divisional and national projects.
Deputising for the Area Manager as required.
What are you looking for?
A collaborative and successful retail manager.
Comfort working within targets and motivating others to achieve those targets.
Commercial awareness with great business judgement.
The ability to build networks and influence.
Adaptability in changing situations, including being able to work effectively independently.
Experience of leading and performance managing a team of people across multiple sites

Flexibility, our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. Whilst a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.
What will I gain?
We make sure you are supported by a generous salary and benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.
Our benefits package includes a substantial retirement plan, a generous and flexible leave allowance, discounts on anything from travel to technology, gym membership, and much more.
Our retail teams also have access to confidential wellbeing support from the Retail Trust.
How do I apply?
We operate an anonymised shortlisting process in our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. CVs are required for all applications; but we won’t be able to view them until we invite you for an interview. Instead, we ask you to complete the work history section of the online application form for us to be able to assess you quickly, fairly and objectively.
Owing to the nature of this position, any offer of employment for this role will be subject to a satisfactory basic DBS check.
