Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much-loved presence on high streets across the country - with a range of innovative shops, including boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores. As a member of the retail team, you’ll be helping us inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. You will also be contributing to drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

In retail most work every weekend, our managers mainly work only 1 in 2. We don't expect our teams to work past 5.15 in most of our shops. The earliest we start is 8.45am. We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day off.

The fantastically generous community in and around Macclesfield provides our Sue Ryder shop with donations ranging from bespoke furniture to designer clothing.There is something for everyone in our two stores on Churchill way. We now have an amazing furniture sales room just adjacent to our Macclesfield shop car park, stocking a range including electrics, white goods and TVs in addition to donated and new goods furniture. In the main shop we have an exciting vintage and retro section and a selection of nursery equipment, as well as the high-quality men's and ladies clothing, accessories and bric-a-brac we always have stocked.
