Ideal for candidates currently working as a Deputy Store Manager, Retail Operations Supervisor, Store Management Associate, Assistant Retail Manager, or Sales Floor Manager.

We’ve grown significantly over the last few years and are vibrant, engaged, and performing well. Innovation is key to our business, and we constantly look for ways to deliver value across our retail estate. You will have the opportunity to influence decisions, define retail standards, and contribute to a happy and healthy working environment.

We recognise and value diversity to bring different perspectives when providing services to colleagues and customers. Diversity helps us build great service and happy teams. It is important that people want to learn, be inspired by each other, and share their experiences.

We review applications on an individual basis. If we feel you would be a good fit, we’ll invite you for a face‑to‑face chat about the role and to see if we’re a good fit for you. We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment.
