It couldn’t be easier to develop an amazing retail management career with Sainsbury’s. Our convenience stores are perfect 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, organized, 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 provide 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 well together, our customers notice.

You’ll be ultimately responsible for making everything as good as it can be. As a Customer and Trading Manager, we’ll give you the opportunity to work your full-time hours over four days. We are an award-winning, diverse employer, committed to supporting everyone to be themselves.
How you can develop
