As a Lead Manager you will have your own management team to guide and will often be the most senior colleague in the store, responsible for ensuring the best possible service for our colleagues and customers.

It’s a chance to put your management skills, experience and instincts to the test; chasing opportunities, finding better ways of working and getting things just right for our customers.

You’ll be a role model, helping colleagues to know and love our products and services, involving everyone in community projects and proving just how much we can achieve together. You’ll get to grow your own team – by spotting talent and giving them the feedback and support they need to be their best.

We’ll look to you to maximise sales, impact and presentation for your department, while making sure everything is safe and compliant and everyone’s in the right place at the right time.

This role is what management should be: out of the office and leading from the front – on the store floor with your colleagues and customers.

Do you have the attitude, aptitude and aspiration to be a great retail manager? It’s a role for those who love retail – but above all we need you to put people at the heart of everything you do.

• Talking to colleagues, to share and encourage new ideas and best practice
• Being warm and welcoming, taking time to recognise and listen to others
• Building a strong team spirit and a network of relationships that stretches beyond the store
• Looking ahead and seizing opportunities
• Acting quickly to do what’s right for colleagues and customers
• Thriving on change and leading people through it together
• Knowing how to be at your best – and exceeding expectations

• Holiday starting at 20 days plus a personal day rising to 22 days after 12 months (plus Bank holidays)
• Request flexible working from day one
• Get 10% off and 15% at pay day weekends – save up to £2,000 a year with your Colleague Clubcard (additional card for family)
• Access to free wellbeing services with a range of resources to support your mind, body and life
• Life cover of five times your pay and an award‑winning pension with matching contributions up to 7.5%
• Benefits to suit you – choose what you use from discounts and shares to cycle‑to‑work schemes
• Uniform provided and policies to support you for all of life’s moments, big and small
• Access to our colleague networks to bring staff together from a range of backgrounds (see details on our website)
