Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses in South Warwickshire. At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well-supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 26 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.
About the role
We are looking for an experienced retail professional to join our team, to manage the performance of several charity shops. You'll maximise essential income for our charity that funds the care of 1 in 4 of our patients. As a Retail Area Manager, you will:
- Lead a large team to achieve objectives and targets, including performance management
- Develop and manage income and expenditure budgets, to ensure they are achieved
- Ensure all charity shops' space is used commercially, to maximise sales and promote campaigns
- Ensure high standards of customer experience, and Myton's values and brand, are upheld across shops
- Recruit, mentor and support staff, including supporting the recruitment of volunteers
This role requires regular shop visits across South Warwickshire & Daventry, and on-site working at our three hospice sites in Coventry, Rugby and Warwick. You'll need to travel in your own vehicle and your mileage expenses will be reimbursed at 55p per mile.
About you
We would love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience of area management in charity and high street retail
- Skills in communication, leadership, time management and attention to detail
- Supportive, open and clear management style
- Commercial awareness and results-oriented approach
- UK driving licence and own vehicle (roadworthy & suitably insured)
- The right to work in the UK (we cannot provide sponsorship)
This role requires an enhanced DBS check including the children's barred list, because you will be managing staff who work in regulated activity with volunteers under age 16. We will arrange and cover the cost of this check if you're offered the role.
We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourage everyone to bring their true selves to work. However you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, you are welcome to apply. If there are any adjustments that could help improve your experience with Myton, we encourage you to share this with us. We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from ethnic minorities, who are currently under-represented in our hospices. We also believe our interview process should be inclusive and transparent. If there is anything missing, or a way we can improve, please do let us know.

- Increased employer pension contribution
- 28 days annual leave + bank holidays (increasing with long service)

- Winter savings scheme
- Flexible life assurance cover
