Charity Shop Manager & Volunteer Coordinator - Rugby
Full-time (some evenings/weekends required with notice).
Jobshare may be considered.
About Us:
Shine A Light is a community-driven charity dedicated to supporting children with cancer and their families through meaningful outreach, events, and initiatives. We run a vibrant charity shop and café in Rugby that not only raises vital funds for our work, but also serves as a welcoming hub for our community.
The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a passionate and driven Charity Shop Manager & Volunteer Coordinator to lead our charity shop and café operations. This is a unique opportunity to combine retail and hospitality management with community engagement and volunteer leadership. You’ll oversee daily shop and café activities, lead a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, and help grow our impact through innovative fundraising events and local partnerships.
Your Key Responsibilities Will Include:
Driving sales and profitability through creative merchandising, excellent customer service, and stock management.
Managing the café to ensure high standards of hygiene, safety, and quality service.
Recruiting, training and inspiring a diverse team of volunteers who support all aspects of our operations.
Creating and delivering engaging fundraising events and community initiatives.
Maintaining a safe, inclusive, and positive working environment for all staff and volunteers.
Promoting Shine a Lights Mission throughout the local area to increase visibility, donations and volunteer engagement
What we’re looking for:
Experience in retail or charity shop management, ideally with café or hospitality experience.
A natural people leader with strong interpersonal and team development skills.
Skilled in volunteer recruitment, training, and retention.
Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities.
A creative thinker with a passion for community engagement and charity work.
Experienced in overseeing charity finances- from budgeting and stock control to producing clear, accurate reports that support informed decision making.
Knowledge of (or willingness to learn) food hygiene and health & safety procedures.
Flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends as needed.
Why join us?
Working with Shine a Light, you’ll be more than a manager - you’ll be working within our mission statement as a community builder. We offer a supportive, friendly and vibrant environment. With the chance to shape a growing charity, and the satisfaction of knowing your work makes a real difference to our families and staff, is this role for you?
Ready to Apply?
If you’re ready to be part of our team, passionate about people, the community, and our purpose - we want to hear from you.
