Hours: 36.75 hours per week

Closing date: 14/10/2026

Working pattern

This is a full time position with a contract of 36.75 hours per week.

As part of your contract, we ask for availability that is, as a minimum, one and a half times your weekly hours. For example, if you were on a 10-hour contract, we would ask for 15 hours of availability. This doesn't mean you will work 15 hours (unless there is overtime available, and this may be offered to you) but your shifts may be placed anywhere within the availability you provide. This helps us build fair, consistent rotas, and ensures we can meet customer demand across the week. With this role being in Retail, you must also be available to work one late night and one weekend day per week.

You will have at least 2 weeks' notice of when your shifts will be. If you can't exactly match the hours and days we are looking for, this can be discussed. We are always happy to hear from you.

The Role

Our customers will be your main focus, and everything you do will be with their shopping experience in mind. As a Team Leader you will oversee the functionality of a team by determining the goals that colleagues will work towards each shift, providing guidance, instruction on how to approach a task and leading by example. You will be responsible for the review of safe and legal records to ensure daily completion on your shifts. In the absence of senior management you will have the responsibility of duty manager of the store.

Duties include working on the counter cooking, serving customers, keeping the department cleaned and organised, taking temperatures and ensuring date checks are completed. Alongside this you will be managing the team to ensure tasks are completed, the department runs safely and communicating anything necessary from the Specialist Manager and higher teams.
