Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust - Deputy Community Superstore Manager
Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust are now looking for a Deputy Community Superstore Manager for our Blackheath Superstore to lead a team of volunteers, achieve set targets and to maintain standards. You’ll work 37.5 hours per week, including some weekend working.
About The Role
Acorns Children's Hospice are a children's charity, offering specialist palliative nursing care and support for local children and their families. Every year, we support over 750 children and nearly 1,000 families, including those who are bereaved. We have a network of charity shops across the West Midlands and Gloucestershire, which help to provide the funding that we need to provide this care.
As Deputy Superstore Manager, you’ll create an exciting shop floor experience that makes Acorns stand out from our competitors. You’ll make local decisions about the quality of stock, levels of pricing and style of merchandising, leading a team of volunteers to uphold these standards. You'll act as an entrepreneur to maximise every sales opportunity available, reviewing sales reports and making decisions based on the data and trends these reports show.
