Are you a fashion conscious dog lover?
We love dogs. That’s why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve. We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.
We have approximately 40 retail stores already across the UK, all with a broad range of donated and bought in products. We are now looking for dynamic and flexible Store Manager, who has the customer and the charity at the heart of everything they do, to join our busy Saffron Walden shop.
We are seeking a commercially minded Store Manager, working 5 days a week (including most weekends), to help to build and inspire a team of volunteers, take personal ownership for the performance of the store, maximise profits and deliver excellent customer service. In this varied and exciting role you will be instrumental in ensuring your store is a successful hub of the community, working closely with Rehoming Centres and representing the Dogs Trust brand. This is a great opportunity to be part of a busy and dynamic retail environment that changes every day!
So if you have retail experience along with strong team and budgetary management skills and enjoy leading from the front and driving sales through commercial awareness and inspirational customer service whilst making a difference to the dogs in our care, please apply.
