Retail Operations Manager

With our first shop opened in June 2015, we now have 4 shops in Leicestershire and Rutland with 2 more in the pipeline.  We now need an experienced Retail Operations Manager with passion, ambition and determination to join our team and take the next step in this project.

The successful candidate will have experience in meeting tough targets and running a successful network of shops. We need someone who knows and understands the charity retail market and can establish Vista as a leading player locally in this competitive arena. Experience in maximizing profit, generating donated stock and recruiting great volunteers will be vital.

The role will setup our new shops from scratch, so excellent project management skills and an understanding of what makes a successful shop are essential. We are a small team, so you will need an ability to work independently and not be afraid to be hands on when needed.

Vista changes lives. We are the leading local charity working with children and adults with sight loss. We are passionate about providing the very best services; in hospitals, at home, in residential care and in the community.

We are very keen to find the right candidate for this role and we are flexible as to how the 30 hours are worked.

We offer excellent health benefits, a defined contribution pension scheme and access to an employee assistance programme.
