Are you a retail superstar who's passionate about helping make a difference?

We're hiring!
The British Red Cross is looking for a dynamic Assistant Shop Manager to join our friendly charity shop team in Workington. This is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your retail skills whilst contributing to our cause of helping people in the local community, across the UK, and abroad.

Retailing with a difference

Helping people in crisis begins at your local charity shop.

Full of pre-loved clothing, accessories, gifts, and more, our 300 shops across the UK are home to over 6,500 volunteers and 700 paid staff. We're one big team that loves meeting people from all walks of life.

In this hands-on role, you will support the Shop Manager to run a profitable, customer-focussed shop that is the 'window of the British Red Cross' on the high street. From working on the shop floor, to coordinating activity "behind the scenes", no two days are the same.

Alongside the Shop Manager, you will help to create a brilliant shopping environment and provide an excellent customer experience in store. You will support the manager to oversee a team of dedicated volunteers, supporting their induction, management, and development. Together, you'll all represent the British Red Cross to a high standard and embody our core values.
