About the role
You will assist the Shop Manager in the recruitment, support, and development of a strong community-focused shop team and empower them to maximise Shelter's income. Representing Shelter in your local community, ensuring that you and your team share your knowledge of Shelter's cause with customers, volunteers, donors, and potential Shelter clients will also be important aspects of the role. You will always ensure a safe, clean, bright, and happy environment for your team to work in and for your customers to shop in, in turn attracting potential donors and volunteers.
About you
You are a naturally energetic person with an enthusiasm for managing and empowering people.

Above all, you are ready to take on a new challenge and have a keen interest in Shelter's cause.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family-friendly policies, pension, and interest-free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme, and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support, and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
