  • Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and record-keeping systems.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple retail sites.
  • Knowledge of fashion brands, antiques and quality donated goods would be advantageous.
  • Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle for business travel.

Hours of work:

  • Full-time position.
