  • Stock Management Guru : You tackle the challenge of sorting, pricing, and merchandising deliveries like a pro Embrace the boxes; they've got nothing on you
Being a Great Leader

  • Inspire and motivate your team in line with our employer brand, values, behaviours and purpose.
  • Lead your team to reach their potential and steer your store to break records and get in the spotlight.
  • Work collaboratively with support departments and peers.
  • If something's not quite right, speak up so we can work together to get it right or make it better - Nobody is too proud for constructive feedback so we all win together
  • But let's not forget about the most important part… your team's well-being and aspirations. You'll be their biggest supporter, cheering them on. You'll have amazing everyday conversations with your team, discussing everything from performance to career aspirations and helping them get there
