The Salvation Army has a nationwide network of over 130 Family Stores that sell a range of quality donated goods, ranging from clothing, furniture, linen and homeware. We aren't your typical retail store, no two days are the same in terms of our customers, volume of donations received, or what you may find while processing and pricing goods to sell.

About The Role

This role is the Team Leader of the Logistics and Processing team – back of house. It is critical to our store's success with the primary responsibility of ensuring all team members are motivated, trained and working to the required expectations for the individual operational functions daily, as per national Family Store operational requirements. In addition to leading a successful store team, this role also works closely with the area manager as part of a senior operational team to support successful implementation of strategic directives. Our team leaders are dynamic and savvy, leading by example, with proven abilities to motivate and coach people, increase sales, implement best practice processes and ensure good quality stock is processed, priced appropriately and well displayed.

  • Physically fit and capable of regular lifting – this is a daily part of the role
  • Be confident in using various retail and communications technology such as point of sale software and tablets
  • An ethical approach to working in a respectful, honest and transparent way to build trust across the family stores, upholding the values of The Salvation Army
  • Be comfortable working within set procedures but able to apply sound judgement when initiative is required
  • Have the right to work in New Zealand. All employment offers are subject to the completion of a satisfactory Ministry of Justice clearance / police check
