Winners of the Employer of the Year for the People in Retail Awards 2023 – Retail Bulletin.

Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much-loved presence on high streets across the country - with a range of innovative shops, including boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores. As a member of the retail team, you’ll be helping us inspire communities to provide more care for more people through innovating and collaborating on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. You will also be contributing to drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

We understand our people are our most important asset and work hard to make sure you feel valued and included as part of a team. In retail, most work every weekend; our managers mainly work only 1 in 2. We don't expect our teams to work past 5:15 in most of our shops. The earliest we start is 8:45am. We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day off.

Sue Ryder Scunthorpe is a large store situated with easy parking, next to The Range in Skipping dale Retail Park. The shop stocks a great range of items which includes good quality ladies wear, menswear and children’s clothing as well as a large range of shoes and accessories. We also have a large entertainment section with puzzles, games, CDs, DVDs and vinyl.
