Lincoln, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Sainsbury's Full time

Career Advancement Opportunity

Are you ready to elevate your career? If you are eager to enhance your operational leadership abilities in a role specifically crafted to emphasize store management, this position is an excellent opportunity for growth.

Our management framework empowers you to focus on your strengths. You will have defined responsibilities for overseeing store operations and ensuring exceptional service for our customers and team members, which will help you build your confidence and skills.

Key Responsibilities

Our mission is driven by our enthusiasm for quality products, and together we aim to assist every customer.

As the Assistant Store Leader in one of our larger, more intricate locations, you will take charge in the absence of the Store Leader. You will be a prominent presence on the sales floor, fostering trust and promoting an inclusive environment.

Your primary focus will be on store operations, guiding your team to address daily challenges, enhancing and optimizing store performance during your shifts, while also planning for the upcoming months by utilizing data and insights to set priorities for achieving our retail and digital objectives.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We are open to various career paths. You might already be managing a team at a competing organization or overseeing a smaller establishment, such as a convenience store. Regardless, you are likely at a stage where you seek the right opportunity to progress towards a Store Leader position.

What matters most is your commitment – we do not expect you to have all the solutions from the outset, but we value your motivation to grow, your dedication to empowering others, and your passion for customer service. After all, our stores thrive on exceptional service.

Proficiency in technology is essential – we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve in utilizing data and digital tools to enhance the in-store experience. Flexibility is also crucial, as your role involves supporting and substituting for the Store Leader, which may require adjusting your hours to align with theirs.

Opportunities for Growth

This position is part of a structure that provides support and opportunities for excellence. You will receive coaching from your manager to achieve outstanding performance while having ample room for personal development.

As an Assistant Store Leader, you will be well-positioned for a Store Leader role within our organization. Additionally, you may find opportunities for leadership roles at our corporate office or within the broader Sainsbury's family, including Habitat, Tu, Argos, Sainsbury's Bank, and Nectar 360. We are committed to maximizing your potential.

Benefits Offered

Your salary will be determined based on your experience, as well as the size, complexity, and location of the store. In addition, we provide a comprehensive range of benefits for our management team, including:

  • Private Healthcare – Eligible for individual coverage with the option to upgrade to family coverage annually.
  • Interest-free car loan of up to £10,000.
  • Discount card – 10% discount on purchases at Sainsbury's, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% at Sainsbury's every Friday and Saturday, and 15% at Argos on payday.
  • Complimentary food and hot beverages for colleagues in all stores.
  • Generous holiday allowance, maternity, and paternity leave.
  • Pension scheme – we will match 4-7% of your 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 realize your potential.
  • Our Cycle to Work scheme allows you to hire a new bike and cycling equipment while saving on tax and National Insurance.
  • Exclusive offers on gym memberships, dining, vacations, retail vouchers, and more.

Embark on your journey with Sainsbury's.
