Home/ Retail

Retail

We create vibrant retail spaces that embrace and inspire communities. Our retail team at Save the Children have a collective vision, we’ve started disrupting the sector to deliver an innovative and sustainable future for our shop network.

In celebration of the diversity of our retail communities and all the people who work and volunteer in them, we have built a family of propositions to represent Save the Children in the most inspirational way across the UK and Online.

We provide a retail offer and channel to our supporters and mass audiences to raise income, provide a local brand experience and engage supporters in specific products/campaigns, through our retail chain and online.

We’re different from other charity retail in the way we work. While the ‘what’ across our operations are like many others in the sector, the HOW we do it is entirely different.

Our shop teams are empowered to make the right decisions around their business & proposition, while knowing when to follow guidance and best practice. By working in this way, our shop management and volunteers play a key role in supporting us to drive new approaches, rather that stagnating in what we’ve always done.

We celebrate diversity, and drive inclusivity, and this is abundantly obvious through our shops from offer and product, to design and physicality, to our people and culture.

We are sure that collectively, we can build an even greater love for our brand, with the most exciting retail experiences at the heart of all our communities.

We will be expanding our team over the next couple of years, recruiting more shop managers and building on our approach to deliver inspiring retail spaces across the UK.

If you’re excited by our vision and looking for a new role, you can review our current opportunities below.

About us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

• Act as an operational liaison between the Legal Team, Procurement and wider SCUK teams, supporting planning, prioritisation and continuous improvement.

About you

You'll bring a passion for innovation and efficiency, with proven success in playing a key role in enabling legal teams to operate strategically, agilely and with impact.

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Proven experience in legal operations, legal project management or a related field, with a strong understanding of in-house legal functions.

• Ensure full compliance with HMRC Gift Aid regulations, leading on regulatory change and liaising with HMRC

• Own organisational Gift Aid knowledge management, including documentation, guidance and training

• Lead Gift Aid assurance and audits, ensuring HMRC-audit readiness and issue resolution

About you 

To be successful, it is important that you have:  

• Extensive practical knowledge of HMRC Gift Aid regulations, with experience of Gift Aid management and/or auditing

• Experience working with Gift Aid data and supporter databases (Salesforce preferred), and managing end-to-end, data-driven processes

• Strong understanding of charity fundraising income streams and related regulations, including data protection

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and projects, delivering to deadlines

• Excellent communication skills, including experience explaining complex Gift Aid requirements and delivering training or guidance

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

What we offer you: 

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. You can read more about our benefits here.
