We have a fantastic opportunity in our large Tottenham Court Road Store to work with a fantastic highly experienced store team. The store is based in the heart of central London, next to centre point attraction and the Dominion Theatre. The area is easily accessible via underground and Elizabeth Line. Oxford Street is a stones throw away and next to massive shopping outlets such as Primark. The store is surrounded by hospitality such as eateries/bars/restaurants and is a very vibrant area to work in. The store is split over two floors. A busy beauty and retail business on the ground floor with a clinical healthcare, pharmacy, dispensary and opticians area located on the first floor. The store attracts all kinds of customers and patients, from locals to tourists to students. 16 Tottenham Court Road is a service hub where we are lucky enough to provide many private services to satisfy all types of clients. Also we are lucky enough to be one of the first stores to take on new private services once it has been rolled out. The store is surrounded by other Boots stores who we have a very good support network with. The main thing around this store is the family like feel within the staff and the one team mentality!
