Team Leader

What will you be doing?

Co-operation is central to making sure our stores thrive in their communities. At the very heart of great teamwork are great leaders: people like you that support, develop and manage an exceptional team of human beings.

With great leadership comes great responsibility. As a role model of the behaviours and expected standards you want to see in your teams, you’ll help to communicate ways of working for new colleagues and provide them with the growth to be brilliant. You’ll also go above and beyond to provide every customer with the best experience, at any time they need it.

Working closely as part of the management team, you’ll support the day to day running of the store, taking responsibility for maintaining legal procedures and standards, whilst ensuring the safety and security of our colleagues and customers.

How will I know if I am right for this role?

We’re looking for aspiring leaders that work with enthusiasm, pace and initiative. We want people who can take ownership of their development, with an ability to identify and grow great talent within their team through development and coaching.

Being open-minded and curious, you’ll be aware of current and future promotions. You’ll identify opportunities for growth, offering suggestions that may benefit the total store operation focused on delivery and commercial success. Knowledge of managing budgets/accounts will be essential.

You’ll have drive and determination for delivering exceptional results.

As a warm and friendly team member, your love for talking with our customers will flow naturally into your passion for delivering exceptional service every day.

You’ll need great people management skills. Through respect, support and empathy to others, you’ll build relationships that create a foundation for getting things done. You’ll guide your team as you work together to support future progress within the store.

You will make a difference in your community and will ignite passion to deliver a more informed, motivated and engaged team.

We welcome applications from candidates looking for flexible job share opportunities and we can support this in the dynamic operation of our business.
