Summary
Come and join our team!
As Team Manager, you will be responsible for helping colleagues to realise their full potential through regular feedback, coaching and support. Not only will you make an impact on colleagues, but you will also have the chance to influence those living in your store’s community through supporting local causes and events.
You will work alongside the Branch Manager to drive high standards and excellent service in branch, meeting the needs of our customers and maximising opportunities for success! We believe this is best achieved through having a skilled, engaged, and diverse team.

We are truly local, so you can work safe in the knowledge that you will be fully supported by nearby store and Head Office colleagues, as well as your in-store team.
