Job Description

WH Smith has a remarkable heritage and we are growing particularly in our airports, hospitals, rail stations and motorway services.

  • Working with Head Office to share your knowledge of the local environment to maximise local opportunities and community involvement
  • Having a robust people and succession plan in place and work with the Region to support people development and succession planning, including review and development plans for all colleagues
  • Keeping teams up to date on stores business performance and appropriately challenging what can be done to improve
  • Creating a sense of pride within the store to ensure both colleagues and customer facilities are of a good standard, and that we are operating safely and legally

What our Store Leadership Team would love to see:
  • Current Store Manager (or equivalent) in a fast-paced retail or similar environment - ideally with multi-site experience, but not essential

  • Experience in managing the employee lifecycle from recruitment, onboarding and ongoing performance reviews
