Overnight Retail Operations Leader

3 weeks ago


Midlothian, United Kingdom Sainsbury's Full time

Overview

The night shift is where the essential operations take place. Deliveries arrive, shelves are replenished, and everything must be prepared for the day ahead. This is an excellent opportunity to kickstart or advance your career in retail management, as it equips you with vital skills.

In this role, you will oversee the overnight team and manage all in-store activities during your shift. Comprehensive training will empower you to lead your team effectively, allocate resources wisely, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Your Responsibilities

Our mission is driven by our love for food, as we strive to serve and assist every customer.

Your team will be responsible for restocking shelves, processing warehouse deliveries, and assisting with online order fulfillment overnight. You will ensure that everything is perfectly positioned for your colleagues and customers in the morning. Your primary focus will be on operational management within the store—ensuring a seamless night shift, overseeing your team's performance and time management, and demonstrating a decisive, organized, and inclusive leadership style.

We understand that night work is not suitable for everyone, which is why an additional annual premium of up to £4,500 is available for eligible night shift management positions.

While on duty, you will be accountable for ensuring that operations run smoothly. Collaborating with other managers, you will plan shift schedules and activities in advance. At the end of your shift, you will conduct a thorough handover to the incoming Manager.

We will provide you with the necessary time and resources to execute these responsibilities effectively. When our teams collaborate seamlessly, our customers notice the difference.

Your Profile

This position is a fantastic way to begin your management journey in retail or to refine your existing skills to a first-class level. Our customers are always in search of that extra special touch in-store, and your ability to guide, motivate, and inspire your team will be crucial in achieving this.

Our structure ensures a clear management presence throughout all operating hours, allowing our customers and colleagues to seek assistance or propose solutions when challenges arise. You will ultimately be responsible for enhancing the overall experience.

Opportunities for Growth

Upon joining us, you will receive a comprehensive induction and orientation, along with a tailored training plan developed in conjunction with your manager. They will support and mentor you to achieve outstanding performance while allowing ample time for personal development.

Numerous opportunities exist for you to expand and enhance your skills, so feel free to communicate when you are ready to take on additional responsibilities. Remember, you will be part of the Sainsbury's family, ensuring that you will always have a variety of options available.

Benefits

Your salary will be determined by your experience, as well as the store's size, complexity, and location. In addition, we offer an attractive range of benefits for our managers, including:

  • Night shift premium - up to £4,500 annually for eligible night work
  • 4-night workweek - our full-time night shift managers complete their hours over 4 nights
  • Discount card – 10% discount on shopping at Sainsbury's, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% on Fridays and Saturdays at Sainsbury's and 15% off at Argos every payday.
  • Complimentary food and hot beverages for colleagues in all stores.
  • Generous holiday entitlement, maternity, and paternity leave.
  • Pension – we match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
  • Sainsbury's share scheme – build an investment at discounted rates.
  • Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counseling, legal, and financial advice.
  • Colleague networks – connect with like-minded individuals to help reach your potential.
