This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the most successful retailers in the UK, working as an Assistant Store Manager with the chance to progress to a store manager role in the near future.

We are hoping to hear from outstanding leaders with a strong work ethic who are willing to work in a fast paced and demanding environment where expectations on performance and results are high. You must be currently operating in a management position with responsibility for a team of at least 15-20 and preferably more staff. Applications are welcome from either existing Assistant/Deputy Managers or Store Managers looking to move into a larger role in the near future.

A key criteria is the ability to lead by example as this is a hands on role with physical demands such as stock replenishment and heavy lifting.

This role also enables managers to influence the ordering process to ensure product availability is maximised.

You will need to demonstrate a strong grasp and awareness of inventory controls and productivity, whilst maintaining a high level of customer service and focus on sales development.

We are interested in hearing from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. You must also possess a full driving licence as there are early starts and late finishes occasionally. In addition you must be flexible to a degree within 45 minutes of where you live and happy to travel to specific stores for training and induction.
