Assistant Store Manager
We are hiring for an Assistant Store Manager to join one of our exciting stores based in Bolton. There’s an established team in place, and you will be working directly with them to help create the best customer shopping experience possible. Footasylum is a business that values its front‑end retail staff.
An Assistant Manager will be responsible for assisting the Store Manager with the store’s day‑to‑day responsibilities, such as overseeing employees, modelling effective leadership, and offering excellent customer service. A primary responsibility of an Assistant Manager is to carry out the Manager’s role in their absence. You will use this role to acquire and develop a Store Manager’s duties and ultimately be in training to advance to this position.
We invest in our training and development and this role will be no different. Our aim is to build an environment where our employees can achieve, develop, and progress. You will be supported in your journey, with regular 1‑2‑1’s, training, and support available to help you thrive.

* A strong track record of leading, motivating, and developing high‑performing teams
* Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
* The ability to thrive under pressure and adapt quickly to changing priorities
* Exceptional organisational skills and a customer‑first mindset
* A deep understanding of the fashion industry and current market trends
