The Entertainer is a family-run business and the UK's largest independent toy retailer, with over 165 locations nationwide. In 2019, we proudly acquired the Early Learning Centre (ELC), further solidifying our commitment to providing exceptional play experiences.

As an ambitious toy retailer, we are expanding our online and high street presence. Our concession spaces in Tesco, M&S, and Matalan enable us to showcase our toys while offering customers our specialist knowledge, toy expertise, and impressive customer service.

• Building external relationships to effectively market your store and drive sales growth.
  
  

What We're Looking For In Our Assistant Manager

• Resilient and adaptable, with the ability to plan and execute operational activities under pressure.
• A strong leader with excellent people skills, capable of driving, developing, and motivating your team to become the best-loved toyshop.
