Assistant Manager

You probably recognize the name Holland & Barrett as a well-known high street store, but did you know that things are changing pretty quickly and we're on an exciting journey?! We have a vision to become a leading player in the global health & wellness industry. Our high street stores are the heart of our business and are truly going from strength to strength! We're looking for an exceptional Assistant Store Manager to become part of our inspirational team.

Wellness begins with you, start your journey today.

In our larger stores, we support our teams by having an Assistant Manager as well as a Store Manager. You will be second in command, on hand to support your manager and your team in all areas of the store. Whether you're a supervisor already, an assistant manager looking for more, or if you simply feel ready to take that next step up, this could be the opportunity you're looking for.

It's a stepping-stone into a career path that could take you all the way within Holland & Barrett. All of our Assistant Managers complete our fantastic “Qualified to Advise” and level 2 operational training, to help turn them into shopfloor superstars! We will give you responsibility, train you in all areas of running a successful store and, when you're ready, we will help you move up into a Store Manager role.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Partner with the Store Manager in order to build a high performing team by recruiting, coaching, training, motivating and developing your brilliant store team to shine even brighter
• Be totally customer-centric, delighting our customers all the time
• Understand and increase the financial performance of your store by making sure that you're all over sales targets as well as payroll and other costs.
• Making sure that there's enough stock that's displayed correctly so that our customers can come in and find just what they need

To be successful, we'd like you to show us that you have:

• Excellent communication and proven people management skills and the ability to lead and motivate the team in all situations
• Great teamwork skills so that you can support your manager and develop your team
• The ability to work under pressure and handle challenging situations in a fast-paced retail environment
• Confidence, drive and enthusiasm
• Passion and enthusiasm for our products, nutritional supplements, natural beauty and healthy living
• The ability to complete regular computer-based training to ensure exceptional product knowledge

We want you to become a wellbeing expert and we take your career, learning and development seriously
