PURPOSE OF THE JOB To provide support and assist the Manager in the operation of running Vincent’s shops in a manner which reflects SVP’s high retail standards and maintains the professionalism and profile of the Society in all areas of operation. ENVIRONMENT OF THE JOB The SVP is a large, national, voluntary organisation with extensive experience of working with a diverse range of people who experience poverty and exclusion. Through its network of over 12,000 volunteers and 700 staff, it is strongly committed to working for social justice and advocates the creation of a more just and caring society. SVP employs people to support volunteers in a variety of settings including Social Housing, Child & Family services, Retail, Administration and other specialist areas. SVP retail is the third largest retailer in Ireland with 227 shops. When you work in an SVP shop your dedication, initiative and passion are helping to make an important contribution to the work SVP does and to change the lives of people in need across the country. SVP is committed to ensuring that everyone we encounter, regardless of age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin has the right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. All employees are expected to act in accordance with SVP policies on Dignity & Respect and Safeguarding in respect of related Child and Vulnerable adult safeguarding policies and procedures. The Society is Christian based with a strong sense of Gospel values. The founder of the Society, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, was a devout Catholic and his legacy of spirituality remains a key element for volunteer members of the Society and underpins the conduct of conference meetings. It can often therefore be normal practice within the Society that prayers are said at the beginning and end of Conference meetings or at meetings where members are in attendance as this underpins the ethos of the Society.
