Sunday Supervisor

About the role

As Sunday Supervisor, you'll support the Shop Manager to maximise profits and raise funds through the sale of preloved items by delivering excellent shop standards and outstanding customer service. These funds are vital in helping to run Mind's vital mental health support services, supporting the 1 in 4 of us that experience a mental health problem in their lifetime.

You'll also take full responsibility in the Shop Manager's absence for the shop's performance, as well as leading and supporting the dedicated team of shop volunteers. You'll be able to drive positive change and create a real difference within your local community by creating a caring, open and inclusive place for people to work, volunteer and shop.

We're really passionate about developing our people, so whether that's personal or professional development, we have workshops, development programmes and qualifications to suit everyone.

We're looking for someone who:

• is passionate about retail
• has the ability to lead and motivate others
• can plan and prioritise their own workload and the workload of the team
• has a strong customer focus
• can demonstrate our values and behaviours, which are at the core of all we do

If you haven't got management or supervisor level experience, don't worry! We'd love to hear from you if you have a ‘can do' approach, are prepared to work hard and are eager to learn, whilst embracing our values & behaviours.

We need great people like you to help us in the fight for mental health.
