The Shakespeare Hospice, based in Stratford upon Avon, offers a diverse range of services across South Warwickshire and surrounding areas.

We pride our offer as one that is all inclusive and embraces not only the patient but their complete support system, family and loved ones.

The Hospice has six charity shops and an active online presence selling a variety of new and donated quality goods. Profits raised from our shops play a vital role in our income generation activities, helping us to generate the £2 million per year it costs to deliver our services.

The shop, which also operates a Donation Station and offers a Furniture Collection and Delivery Service, has an excellent reputation locally and has just celebrated its 10th year anniversary.

Our ideal candidate will have previous retail management experience, with a sharp business mind-set and be willing to be an active and leading presence on the shop floor. This role will be hands-on and require manual handling of large furniture items. You will have excellent organisational, planning and problem solving skills, knowledge of the relevant health and safety practices and have high quality people management skills. If you would like to be part of a dedicated team and make a difference to those needing our support, then we would love to hear from you.
