Our charity shops are vital in supporting Nationals Star’s aim to transform the lives of young people with disabilities.
Having successfully opened two charity shops in Gloucestershire we’re ready to expand our charity retail operation into Herefordshire.
We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic retail manager to launch and then maximise sales in our new charity shop in Hereford city centre.
You will use your creativity, communication and customer service skills to generate quality donated stock. It’s likely that you will understand merchandising, presenting clothing, homeware and books in a way that will encourage maximum sales.
It also goes without saying that you will be confident in recruiting, training and managing a team of volunteers and a part-time deputy manager.
About us
National Star is a growing charity with more than 1,100 staff based in England and Wales. Established more than 50 years ago, we’ve supported hundreds of young people with disabilities to achieve their potential.

Award-winning training
