Job Description:
Night shift is where the magic happens. Deliveries come in, shelves are restocked, and everything has to be ready for the working day. It’s a great place to start or develop your retail management career, as it helps you develop essential skills.
You’ll lead the overnight team and be responsible for in-store activities during your shift. Great training will give you the confidence to lead your team, plan resources effectively, and ensure customer satisfaction.
What you’ll be doing
Our purpose is driven by our passion for food: together, we serve and help every customer.
Your team will restock shelves, manage warehouse deliveries, and assist with overnight online picking. You’ll ensure everything is in place for colleagues and customers in the morning. Your focus will be operational in-store management—running the shift smoothly, managing team performance and time, and demonstrating a decisive, organized, and inclusive approach.
Working at night isn’t for everyone, and an additional annual premium of up to £4,500 is added to salaries for nightshift management roles, where eligible.
During your shift, you’ll be ultimately responsible for ensuring everything runs seamlessly. In collaboration with other managers, you’ll plan shift patterns and activities in advance. At the end of your shift, you’ll provide a thorough handover to the next manager.
We’ll give you the time and space needed to perform these tasks properly. When our teams work well together, our customers notice.
Who you are
This role is a great way to begin your management career in retail or to develop your existing skills into first-class expertise. Our customers seek that extra special touch in-store, and your ability to guide, motivate, and inspire your team will be key to achieving this.
Our structure ensures management presence across all opening hours, so customers and colleagues can always ask for help or offer solutions when needed. You’ll be responsible for making everything as good as it can be. We are an award-winning, diverse employer, and you’ll foster a team where everyone feels supported to be themselves.
How you can develop
Joining us, you’ll receive a clear induction, orientation, and a tailored training plan built with your manager. They will support and coach you to deliver great performance while providing opportunities for growth.
There are many chances to stretch and develop your skills—just let us know when you’re ready for more. Remember, you’ll be part of the Sainsbury’s family, with endless options for progression.
What we’ll give you
Your salary will depend on your experience, store size, complexity, and location. Additionally, we offer a range of benefits, including:
* Nightshift premium—up to £4,500 annually for eligible roles
* 4-night workweek—full-time nightshift managers work across four nights
* Discount card—10% off at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks; increases to 15% at Sainsbury’s on Fridays and Saturdays, and at Argos on paydays
