Job description

CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management

Assistant Store Manager

This is about helping to run a £multi-million store, while motivating and developing a diverse and talented team.

One day could find you supporting the Store Manager with sorting out deliveries, placing orders or dealing with customer queries. The next, you might be focused on people management and performance or organising holiday rotas for the team. At the same time, you’ll help to handle the over-riding goals of maximising sales in your store, ensuring great customer service, minimising costs and optimising operational efficiency. It means you’ll be more than prepared to step into the Store Manager’s shoes in their absence.

Our Assistant Store Managers are passionate about doing well; motivating and developing their teams to deliver excellent customer service.

You’ll need to be:

• An experienced people-manager
• Used to leading teams in a fast-paced, stakeholder/customer driven environment
• Skilled in time management and boosting operational efficiency
• Motivated to consistently achieve targets

In return, you’ll get a trolley load of benefits including:

• Salary up to £44,310*
• Flexible 40 or 45-hour contracts. You’ll usually work over 5 days, but - if it helps - you can work a 40-hour contract over 4 days. Work-life balance is important to us!
• 5 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays
• Put your feet up on your break…we'll pay you for it!
• Company Pension
• Company maternity, paternity and adoption leave after 2 years
• 24/7 online wellness portal
• Shop your list of perks on MyBenefits - a host of benefits to support your financial and wellbeing
• Do you want to run your own store one day? We’re big on Career Progression opportunities!
