We are in this for the long haul - we are committed to making a sustainable difference in people’s lives. Everyone is welcome at our table.

Your day-to-day

You will become a key contributor to the day-to-day operations of our Op Shops. A typical day may be very physically demanding, and will involve sorting and processing donations, merchandising, operating the point of sale, assisting with supervising volunteers and having a laugh with the team.

Every day will be interesting and your previous experience in other Op Shops or second-hand stores will be a valuable asset, as you’ll already know different ways you can optimise our sales.

Your “hands-on” approach and safety focus will allow you to lead by example in manual handling and the more physical aspects of sorting, moving and arranging donations. You’ll be supervising a number of staff and volunteers, creating a fantastic culture within the store and having a laugh with the team.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is a highly motivated team player
• Has experience in managing an op shop and a small team
• Great interpersonal skills
• Can optimise individual and team performance
• Is knowledgeable in manual handling and safety
• Has volunteer management experience (highly desirable).

You can look forward to:

• Working with a committed and fun team
• A bustling store, where you’ll never be bored
• Using your knowledge of brands to grow the business and impact on Sacred Hearts social mission
• Salary packaging expenses like your rent, holiday accommodation and dining out: up to $15,990 pre-tax
• Access to in-house training
• Opportunity to purchase additional leave
• Ending your workday knowing you’ve contributed to something bigger!
