Position: Store Manager
Location: Mornington Island
Employment Type: Casual
Classification: General Retail Employee Level 6
About the role:
As Store Manager, you will oversee the daily retail, recycling, pick-up and delivery, warehouse and administrative operations of the Family Store, ensuring all activities align with the mission and values of The Salvation Army.
How you will make an impact:
You’re someone who thrives in a store environment where no two days are the same. You take pride in keeping things organised — making sure stock is rotated properly, prices are accurate, and the store always looks its best for every customer who walks through the door.
Creating a welcoming, friendly space comes naturally to you. Whether it’s customers, staff, or volunteers, you make sure everyone feels comfortable and valued the moment they step inside.
You also manage the warehouse side of operations with ease — keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From planning truck schedules for donation pickups and drop-offs around Cairns to keeping track of stock moving in and out, you’re great at making sure it all comes together seamlessly. There’s a real sense of satisfaction for you in seeing that journey — from donation to display to sale.
Leading people is one of your strengths. You recruit, train, and support a diverse team of staff and volunteers, helping them grow their confidence and feel part of something meaningful. You also take care of the store’s finances — handling cash, banking, and compliance with TSA policies — with care and accountability.
And through it all, you make safety a top priority. You believe that a positive, safe, and supportive workplace brings out the best in everyone — and that’s exactly what you work to create every day.
