Do you believe that homelessness should be eradicated?

​

HARP is Southend-on-Sea’s leading homelessness charity. On average we help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness. In addition to providing essential short-term emergency shelter, food, clothing and washing facilities, we work to identify the root causes of homelessness, creating tailored support for each person’s circumstances. We achieve success by providing structure, purpose and training opportunities, and by providing longer-term supported housing, empowering people to take steps to leave homelessness behind and ultimately live independently in the community.

​

Are you a motivated and passionate individual looking to make a real difference in your local community? Do you have an interest in fashion, furniture or retail, and want to put this to good use helping others less fortunate? If so, we would love you to become a member of our growing Charity Shops team.

The ideal candidate will:

​

• Have experience of working in a fast-paced retail environment. 

• Good knowledge of a broad range of product types, including clothing, household and furniture.

• Be flexible and able to go above and beyond to achieve results, including able to work Saturdays and Sundays. 

• Have empathy and understanding for local people experiencing homelessness.

 

​Closing Date: Tuesday 15th November 2022 (midday)
Short listing Day: Wednesday 16th November 2022 
Interview Day: Wednesday 23rd November 2022 (afternoon)

​

HARP will provide you with support and training to carry out your role effectively, and to develop your career. Our benefits package includes 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays with an extra day of leave awarded after 5 years' service (all pro rata for part time employees).

 

HARP participate in an auto-enrolment pension scheme through The People’s Pension. Where eligible, you and HARP will each be required to make a contribution to the pension scheme. Employees will also become members of the non-contributory HARP Death In Service scheme. Full details of the schemes can be given on request.
