Supervisor 30 Hours in Lancaster

When you join us as a Supervisor at The Entertainer, Lancaster in the St Nicholas Arcades Shopping Centre you will be a key member of the store's management team and a role model for our Sales Assistants. You will support your Store Manager in the day-to-day running of your store, ensuring the team are focused and performing to their full potential, and show your manager what you're all about when running the store independently to cover days off and holidays.

You will have the opportunity to make a real difference with your colleagues too, playing an important role in coaching and motivating the team to help them achieve the best they can be in both their personal development and helping the store deliver exceptional store standards and customer service.

What our Supervisors say:

"I love working at the Entertainer as no two days are the same. A typical day in the life of a Supervisor would include managing deliveries, merchandising, pricing and finally (and most importantly!) providing excellent customer service to every customer. Interacting with children via our steps at till the point or allowing them to play with us through instore demonstrations is what makes us unique and makes my role so enjoyable. Seeing children leave with a smile on their face and making memories they will take with them when growing up makes for happy, returning customers. We are all one big family at The Entertainer with just one mission to be 'Britain's best loved toyshop'."

We reserve the right to close this vacancy before the published closing date, should we receive sufficient applications for the role, thank you.
