Description

We are hiring for an Assistant Store Manager to join one of our exciting stores based in Fosse Park.

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 believes in our front-end retail staff.

An Assistant Manager will be responsible for assisting the Store Manager with the store’s day-to-day responsibilities. You will do so by taking on managerial tasks 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 utilise this role to essentially 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 continue to build and create an environment where our employees can achieve, develop, and progress. You will be supported in your journey, and we will celebrate with you, every step of the way. Regular 1-2-1’s, training, and support will be available but most importantly, you will be given all the tools to help you thrive and feel empowered on your journey with us.

We also have a track record of progression, support, and training. We have a plethora of examples across our teams where people have progressed upwards or into completely new opportunities within the business. Ultimately your development is paramount to us, and we want to help support you to achieve your goals.

About you:

• The successful candidate must have passion for Fashion Retail and our company ethos.
• You will have ideally worked previously in Fashion Retail.
• Previous managerial experience working in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in managing, motivating and training a team.
• Strong verbal and written skills.
• Be able to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Efficient and highly organised with a customer focused attitude.
• Have in-depth knowledge of the industry.

Diversity:

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are providing services to our colleagues and customers. We know that this will help us build a great service, which our customers will love.

Recruitment process:

We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a face-to-face chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you. We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment.
