Shift Leader

More about the role

We've got a fantastic opportunity for a Shift Leader to join our store team and help keep our business running smoothly every day.

As a Shift Leader, you'll step up in the absence of the store's leadership team to take responsibility for the safe, legal, and effective running of the store.

• Keep standards high, safe, and legal: Open and close the store, manage security systems, and embed strict adherence to safe and legal working practices.
• Drive operational standards: Follow operational guidance to ensure the store is always ready for trade, dealing calmly with emergencies, enforcement visits, or unexpected changes.
• Look after sales and stock: Keep waste and stock loss to a minimum through careful stock rotation and handling, making sure our shelves are full and ready for our customers.
