Emmaus Oxford is recruiting a Deputy Store Manager will help the Social Enterprise Manager coordinate and supervise all activities associated with efficient, effective and profitable operation of our business, and any other outlets opened, in compliance with the Emmaus ethos, mission, strategic aims, organisational objectives, policies and procedures. A fundamental aspect of the job will involve being highly skilled at managing, working with, and delegating to our Companions and volunteers.

Emmaus Oxford opened in 2009 and operates from a large property at 171 Oxford Road, Cowley, accommodating 24 companions. Two nearby houses are being converted into Move-on Houses, adding 8 more beds by summer 2026.

Our social enterprise includes a large retail store at 242 Barns Road, an online business based at Templars Square, and a house clearance service.

We aim to expand learning, development, and move-on opportunities, helping more companions move into employment and long-term housing. Plans include adding a dedicated Move-on Worker to the team. Our Learning & Development programme, led by an experienced manager, supports companions in setting goals and building meaningful careers.

A team of Progression Workers and a Counsellor provide personal support, while the social enterprise is run by a Social Enterprise Manager, two Deputies, and Drivers. Emmaus Oxford receives no government funding; income comes from trading, fundraising, and rental income (mainly through housing benefit).

The Deputy store Manager will work weekends alongside the Social Enterprise Manager and another Deputy Manager, overseeing the day-to-day running of the Barns Road store and other commercial sites. They will supervise and support companions and volunteers involved in retail, collections, and deliveries—ensuring effective induction, training, and skill development.

Responsibilities include maintaining safe, efficient operations; managing budgets and expenditure; ensuring compliance with health, safety, and quality standards; and upholding Emmaus values. The role also involves delivering training, coordinating with other Deputy Managers on logistics, and providing cover as needed for absences or holidays.

There are currently over 30 Emmaus communities across the UK, stretching from Glasgow to Dover and Norfolk to South Wales.
