Summary

If you’re interested in becoming a Retail Team Leader and have the appetite to engage with visitors and boost our retail potential, then you could be the person for this job.

What it’s like to work here

Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, near Kingswear in Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be required to support the day to day management of the property retail operation so that it is commercially successful and consistently exceeds our visitors expectations. You’ll monitor stock and merchandise products to achieve stretching financial targets, leading by example when it comes to maximising our profitability and income. You’ll also supervise paid and voluntary retail staff and work effectively alongside colleagues elsewhere in the property to deliver great service to visitors, promoting and enhancing the property’s sense of place.

Who we’re looking for
  • Able to demonstrate strong customer service ethos
  • Experience of working in a retail environment including selling and merchandising skills.
  • Strong people skills enabling good relationships.
  • Competent IT skills, previous experience with retail management systems.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Able to promote products to meet sales targets.
  • Knowledge of retail best practice including selling and merchandising skills and effective space management.
  • Awareness of health and safety compliance requirements.
  • Application of data analysis and numeracy.
  • Good understanding of stock control methods.
The package

The National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.

Wherever you’re from, and whatever your background, we want to hear from you – and it doesn’t matter if you’re jam first, cream first, or even if you don’t like scones at all. Everyone is welcome.

Benefits for working at the National Trust include:

  • Flexible working whenever possible
  • Free parking at most locations
  • Free entry to our properties for you, a guest and your children (under 18)
