About Us

At Sense Scotland, we believe everyone deserves to be heard, valued, and included. We support people with complex communication needs and disabilities to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. Our charity shops play a huge role in this by raising vital funds and creating welcoming community spaces.

With a network of shops across Scotland, we’re more than just a place to grab a bargain – we’re a place where kindness, sustainability, and community spirit come together.

About the role

We are looking for a Part Time Assistant Charity Shop Manager to join our St. Andrew's store in Fife!

Working 15 hours per week over two days (agreed with the shop manager), you'll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of the shop. With the shop open 7 days a week, this flexible part time opportunity offers the chance to make a real impact in your local community while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

As an Assistant Shop Manager, you'll be supporting the shop manager to run one of our busy stores, assisting to lead a team of volunteers, ensuring everything runs smoothly. From sorting donations and creating eye-catching displays to providing a fantastic customer experience, you'll take pride in making your shop a great place to visit.

You’ll drive sales, inspire the team, create a welcoming space for all and ensure every donation goes towards making a real difference for the people we support.

This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. If you’re passionate about retail, love working with people, and want a job with purpose, we’d love to hear from you!

About you

• Use your sales expertise to maximise profit, hitting targets, and managing budgets.
• Have a flair for visual merchandising, ensuring the shop is attractive, well-organised, and drives commercial success.

• Have knowledge and experience of cash handling, including managing financial processes accurately.
• Be flexible with working hours, adapting to meet customer needs and shop opening times.
• Demonstrate strong organisational and time-management skills, ensuring the smooth running of the store
