Assistant Shop Manager

We save lives, be it the Emergency or Children’s Air Ambulance our Helicopters and our operations teams ensure we are with people in their upmost time of need. To keep our helicopters flying; our retail shops, fundraising teams and volunteers raise the much needed funds required.

You can be a part of this great cause!

Our assistant managers are not standard retail assistant managers, they are superheroes who face different challenges every moment of the day. It’s hard work and can be physically demanding, but we all work to the same purpose which is growing the service that we can offer. Our shops are the window to our charity, and are the first point of contact for many members of the public.

Within TAAS we give you as a shop management, the trust, freedom and autonomy to manage your own shop and team. We don’t expect our management to be in the office every day completing reams of paperwork, but to be working alongside your teams, driving sales and standards on a daily basis. We look for and encourage creativity, courage and compassion from all of our employees and these core values help keep our service saving lives.

To enable you to deliver results you will work closely with the Shop manager, Volunteers, Area Manager, Retail HQ, and Fundraising Co-ordinators.

Our best people are strongly aligned to our values, Courage, Compassion and Creativity. These are at the heart of everything we do. Ideally you will have had some experience working in the retail or charity sector to give you an initial understanding of the sector we operate in. However, if you have a passion for delivering exceptional customer service, are target driven and can inspire a team we also want to hear from you. Please send us your CV and covering letter and we will be in touch.

We can offer you above average holiday entitlement, a benefits platform to make your money go further and an organisation where you can thrive. We value a home/worklife balance, so we ensure you will be given a number of Saturdays off throughout the year. You’ll also be working in a role where you know that the money you raise will help us to continue saving lives.

Once you press apply you will be invited to complete some short assessments.

The role is subject to a Basic DBS check.
