Summary
Team Leader – Step Into Store Leadership
We’re looking for a Team Leader to join our Fieldfare Road, Hinckley Food Store (12 hours per week).
This is your opportunity to move beyond a standard retail role and take real ownership—leading a team, driving performance, and building the skills to progress into Store Management.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Team Leader, you’ll take responsibility for key areas of the store and step up to run the operation in the absence of the Store Manager.
You’ll:
- Lead, coach and develop your team to deliver strong performance
- Take ownership of shifts, including opening and closing the store
- Drive excellent customer service and make us the go-to store in the community
- Support recruitment, training and onboarding of new colleagues
- Manage performance, attendance and team engagement
- Control key commercial areas including waste, stock and labour
- Maintain high standards across availability, merchandising and compliance
This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll be expected to lead from the front and make decisions that impact the store’s success.
About You
- Experience in retail or a fast-paced customer environment
- Previous supervisory or leadership experience (or ready to step up)
- Commercial awareness and confidence working towards targets
- A natural motivator who can get the best out of people
- Organised, resilient and comfortable taking ownership
Your Career with Us
We don’t just hire Team Leaders—we develop future Store Managers. With structured training, real accountability and ongoing support, you’ll have a clear pathway to progress within the Society.
