The role:
We are looking for an experienced, innovative, dynamic Retail Manager who is looking for their next career move and wants the autonomy of running their very own large-scale shop and Donation Centre, whilst being supported by an organisation that is at the top of their game within the charity retail market.

- Fantastic ideas for partnerships to deliver re-use and repair services with the local connections and knowledge to make them happen
