As a Store Leader, you'll bring our core values to life through your team of between 5 and 15 employees. Retail excellence will be the standard encouraged day to day, in everything you do. With every decision you make and direction you set, you will put the customer at the heart of your thinking.

You will create a successful, motivated and engaged team through leading, coaching and inspiring. You will encourage team members to love the job they do, making every day better for our customers through personal experiences that count. Travel is a requirement of the role for store visits and wider team meetings.
