You'll not just be a store manager, but you will play an active part in engaging and building relationships with your community.

3. to be a positive role model to the team and advocate the co-op values
4. to lead the team to drive sales, memberships and community engagement
5. to drive people related activities such as training, development and performance, whilst still being hands on within the store when needed
6. to be actively involved with social initiatives and volunteering hours to support your local community

Your shift pattern may include some evenings and weekends, but we value your time outside of work and we'll make sure your rota is available 4 weeks in advance - giving you peace of mind to be able to make the most of your days off.

We'll review your application as soon as possible and if it matches with this role requirement, one of our friendly recruitment team will get in touch to chat and find out more about you. The next step of the process is to complete a telephone interview and attend a face-to-face interview with a District Manager where you can show us what you're made of.
