Job content

Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL) is the trading arm of The Salvation Army in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We were established in 1991 to help fund The Salvation Army’s vital work with vulnerable people in the UK, and today we raise money and encourage reuse and recycling through a network of over 220 retail outlets, including charity shops, Superstores and Donation Centres plus a clothing collection division, all of which is rapidly growing and developing.

With the support of the British public, we have been able to donate millions of pounds to The Salvation Army - over £43 million has been donated in the last five years alone, helping to fund the extensive and very important work that The Salvation Army carries out- including homelessness and addiction services, care for older people, help at emergency incidents, support for adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales and a Family Tracing Service.

We are looking for a talented and committed Manager for our newest Donation Centre. Whether you have a commercial or charity retail background, as long as you are committed to our causes and have the enthusiasm, energy and experience, we are interested in hearing from you.

If you want to be a part of our success and to play a part in helping others whilst working for a fantastic company, then read on!

The Role

As the Donation Centre Manager you will be responsible for the day to day running of the business. This will include receiving donations from the general public and local organisations as well as collecting from private houses and other locations, all of which will be processed and delivered to local SATCoL shops, sold on the premises or redistributed. We will also be offering a repair and reuse service to the community which helps divert as many unwanted goods away from landfill where practical.

Paid employees will assist in the delivery of this service but you will also need to recruit and maintain a bank of skilled and general volunteers who will be able to collect and sort clothing, repair and up cycle electrical and furniture items ensuring that we provide a high quality service to our donors, customers and the community. This role will also include establishing links with local businesses and individuals within the community, not only to provide donations but who can volunteer time to offer skills and train other people.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have
  • Have previous operational/retail management experience
  • Proven KPI, financial and budget management
  • Ability to lead a team to achieve targets
  • Fantastic ideas for partnerships to deliver re-use and repair services with the local connections and knowledge to make them happen
  • Knowledge of the environment, sustainability and waste industries
  • Commitment to the ethos of Salvation Army Trading Company
