Job Description

Deputy Shop Manager

Gillingham Shop

21 hours per week on a variable working pattern

Retail Salary Scale: 14,235 for 21 hours

We have an opportunity for you to join the team at our successful Weldmar charity shop in Gillingham, as a part-time Deputy Shop Manager.

We're looking for someone who is friendly and confident, because everyone who comes through the door, whether it's to shop or donate goods, should have a positive experience so that they'll make Weldmar their charity shop of choice in future.

No two days are the same in our shops, and you'll have the ability to prioritise a range of tasks, be a great team player and have the ability to work autonomously. You would need to be flexible and willing to take a hands on approach with all tasks, leading by example. As part of the management team, you'll also be expected to undertake financial and administrative tasks and lead and motivate staff and volunteers.

You might want the opportunity to develop your existing retail or customer service supervisory experience, or just be looking to put your experience to good use in a popular local charity shop. You may be asked to work flexibly to cover annual leave and sickness at other times.

A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check is not required for this role

Closing date: 19th November 2025

Interviews: 28th November 2025
