Team Leader, Retail

Team Leader – Step Into Store Leadership  We’re looking for a Team Leader  to join our Harbury Food Store (12 hours per week).
This is your opportunity to move beyond a standard retail role and take real ownership—leading a team, driving performance, and building the skills to progress into Store Management.
What You’ll Be Doing  As a Team Leader, you’ll take responsibility for key areas of the store and step up to run the operation in the absence of the Store Manager.
You’ll:
Lead, coach and develop your team to deliver strong performance
Take ownership of shifts, including opening and closing the store
Drive excellent customer service and make us the go-to store in the community
Support recruitment, training and onboarding of new colleagues
Manage performance, attendance and team engagement
Control key commercial areas including waste, stock and labour
Maintain high standards across availability, merchandising and compliance
This is a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll be expected to lead from the front and make decisions that impact the store’s success.
About You   Experience in retail or a fast‑paced customer environment
Previous supervisory or leadership experience (or ready to step up)
Commercial awareness and confidence working towards targets
A natural motivator who can get the best out of people
