It couldn’t be easier to develop an amazing retail management career with Sainsbury’s. Our small format supermarkets are the perfect size to help you develop all the skills you’ll need — and more.
You’ll be responsible for everything that happens in-store during your shift; and great training will give you the confidence to lead your team, plan resources effectively, and ensure customers are always delighted.
What you’ll be doing
Our purpose is driven by our passion for food: together, we serve and help every customer.
You’ll run the shift during the day, managing your team’s performance and time, demonstrating a decisive, organised, and inclusive approach. Reporting to the Store Manager, you and the small team of other managers will plan in advance, including shift patterns, product availability, and busy times throughout the day, ensuring essential products are available and everything runs smoothly. At the end of each shift, you’ll give a thorough handover to the next Manager.
We’ll give you the time and space you need to do all that properly. When our teams work really well together, our customers notice.
Who you are
This is a great way to start your management career in retail or to develop your existing skills and make them first-class. Our customers are always looking for that something extra special in-store, and your ability to guide, motivate, and inspire your team will be key to achieving that.
Our structure ensures a clear management presence across the full range of opening hours, so our customers and colleagues always feel able to ask for help or offer solutions when needed. You’ll be ultimately accountable for making everything as good as it can be. We’re an award-winning, diverse employer, so you’ll nurture a team where everyone feels supported to be themselves.
How you can develop
When joining us, you will receive a clear induction and orientation, alongside a training plan tailored to your needs that you'll develop with your manager. They will support and coach you to deliver great performance while providing opportunities for growth.
There are plenty of opportunities to stretch and develop your skills, so just let us know when you’re ready to take on more. Remember, you’ll be part of the Sainsbury’s team, so options are always available.
