We’re looking for a manager to join a branch and grow the team within it. So those who are genuinely enthused about helping Partners reach their potential will excel in their role. You’ll lead and coach your team members, planning and organising their duties. By delegating tasks effectively, you’ll help them to achieve their goals, whilst driving forward efficiencies for the branch.

As well as developing the Partners around you, you’ll also have a strong appreciation for the bigger retail picture. Your passion for selling and retail will delight our customers. By maintaining our brand values and pushing excellence in all areas of the branch, you’ll deliver superb results. It’s important that you have strong leadership and communication skills as a Team Manager. These will be essential. Especially when, on occasion, you take on the responsibility of Duty Manager and Deputy Head of Branch. Your ability to build relationships with other stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds will also be vital.
