You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the bookshop, reporting to the Retail Manager.  Customer services orientated and with retail experience, you will have a love and knowledge of books, you will have a proactive attitude and a strong ability to build relationships with volunteers.  You will have retail awareness, merchandising skills, and the ability to react creatively with the donations received as well as using your sales skills.  A knowledge of the charity shop Gift Aid process would be an advantage but not essential.
