​​We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone determined, someone like you. ​

We’re looking for a motivating superstore assistant manager to join Cancer Research UK’s trading team.

  • Supporting the superstore manager in guiding, inspiring and engaging a large team of paid staff and volunteers. This includes recruitment, retention and development of a diverse superstore team.
  • Taking responsibility for the commercial running of the superstore including display and merchandising, stock management and generation, maintaining shop standards, store layout, sales and income.
  • Working alongside the superstore manager to meet agreed targets for donated stock, cash, benchmark gift aid, average selling price, sell through and stock processing.
  • Assisting with the processing systems that allow for the movement and distribution of large volumes of donations including across other Cancer Research UK shops, superstores and eCommerce.
  • Leading by example and providing excellent customer and supporter service.
  • Creating relationships with your local community and Cancer Research UK colleagues to generate community engagement and additional income and stock.
  • Supporting the shop manager in the organisation and delivery of creative fundraising events for your store to achieve fundraising targets.
  • Deputising for the superstore manager in their absence.
  • There will be a varied amount of manual handling and physical activity required within the day-to-day duties of the role.

What are you looking for?

  • Comfort working within targets and motivating others to achieve those targets.
  • The ability to multi-task in a lively high volume retail environment with large volumes of stock.
  • Creativity and a desire to seek out opportunities for innovative ways of working.
  • The ability to create relationships and communicate well.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
