• Develop and maintain an in-depth understanding of retail products and services, bringing your team up to speed as new items are introduced.
• Drive store sales targets by upskilling and supporting your team in sales training, resulting in increased revenue and customer satisfaction.
• Ensure the store adheres to product placement and replenishment guidelines, maintaining an organised, clean, and welcoming store.

• Proven leadership skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate your team.
• Retail experience is essential, minimum 4 years preferred, with significant people management experience.
• Track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets and driving operational excellence.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with a strong focus on delivering exceptional customer service.
• Strong decision-making abilities and the capacity to handle challenging situations effectively.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and other relevant software applications.
• Right to work in the UK for at least 15 months from your start date.

• Fast-track career progression, we love to promote from within.
• A fun, friendly, and supportive team environment.
• Weekend shifts on Saturdays and Sundays, as the branch operates 7 days a week.
• Occasional coverage at nearby stores within 15–30 minutes travel.
