Offer description

Assistant Store Manager

This isn’t the kind of Assistant Manager role where you stand in the background waiting to be told what to do.

You’ll be trusted to lead, sell, solve problems, support customers, and help run the site like it’s your own. Some days you’ll be the go-to person for customers. Other days you’ll be handling operations, driving sales, managing priorities, and keeping everything moving smoothly behind the scenes.

If you enjoy variety, responsibility, and being relied on, you’ll probably feel right at home here.

Assistant Store Manager - What the role looks like:

You’ll support the day-to-day running of a busy customer-facing site, working closely with the Store Manager while also being confident managing independently when needed.

This role blends customer service, operations, sales, and organisation — so we’re looking for someone who’s equally comfortable speaking with customers, spotting opportunities, and taking ownership of the day.

Assistant Store Manager - What you’ll be doing:

* Supporting the daily running of the site and overall customer experience

* Handling enquiries and confidently converting them into sales

* Delivering excellent customer service both face-to-face and over the phone

* Opening and closing the site independently when required

* Maintaining high standards across the location

* Managing administration, reporting, and operational tasks

* Helping create a positive, professional environment customers remember

Assistant Store Manager - We’re looking for someone who:

* Has management, supervisory, or leadership experience in a customer-focused environment

* Is confident with sales and enjoys speaking with people

* Can work independently and is comfortable with lone working

* Is proactive, organised, and able to manage their own workload

* Holds a full UK driving licence and can travel reliably

* Is flexible and comfortable working weekends as part of a rota

* Brings energy, initiative, and a “get stuck in” attitude

Assistant Store Manager - You’ll fit in well if you:

* Like being trusted with responsibility

* Prefer roles where no two days feel the same

* Can balance customer service with commercial awareness

* Stay calm under pressure and think practically

* Enjoy working as part of a team but don’t need constant supervision

Assistant Store Manager - In return:

* A role with real variety and autonomy

* Supportive leadership and a strong team culture

* Opportunities to grow and develop long-term

* The chance to make a genuine impact on the success of the site

We’re not looking for someone to simply “cover shifts”.
We’re looking for someone who wants to take ownership, build relationships, and become a key part of the business.
