Retail Administrator

Plymouth

£23,151 per annum

Full Time

Permanent

Our thriving retail network is kind to people, purse and planet. Could you be the Retail Administrator we need to help keep it running smoothly?

We’re seeking someone as compassionate as they are organised.

If you’re an experienced administrator with a keen interest in retail and a heart for making a difference, joining St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth as our Retail Administrator could just be your perfect role.

There has never been a better time to join the charity retail sector, which is booming thanks to more people buying second hand to be kinder to both planet and purse.

The £4m annual income generated by our vast retail operation, which includes over 20 charity shops, plus our furniture collection service and recycling operation, makes a huge contribution to funding St Luke’s vital services for local families. All of which means there is never a dull moment for our busy Retail team working across Plymouth and surrounding areas.

Based at either our Turnchapel or City Centre site, our Retail Administrator is critical to the smooth-running of our retail service, with our shop managers and logistical teams relying on their top-notch organisational skills and attention to detail. It’s a role with plenty of variety, from providing diary management for our roaming shop assistants to taking calls from bereaved families booking house clearances, so you’ll need to be as empathic as you are organised.

Our successful candidate will be someone with plenty of administration experience who prioritises their workload effectively and has excellent computer skills. In return, we provide generous pension and annual leave, free onsite parking and membership of a cashback scheme to help towards the cost of day-to-day health costs, such as dental care and physiotherapy.

While we welcome applicants who would like to work remotely part of the week, regular office days are essential for this full-time role.

St Luke’s are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in St Luke’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people and LGBTQ+ people.
