Leading in our stores:

Our management teams don’t just run stores - they’re the driving force behind our business. With bold leadership, a passion for service and an eye for opportunity, they empower teams to raise the bar every single day for our customers. Whether it's product availability, safety standards, or delivering seamless daily operations, they’re hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up changemakers. And the impact? Work becomes more rewarding for our colleagues, and shopping becomes a next-level experience for every customer who walks through our doors. This is how we bring our purpose to life, one powerful action at a time.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading a team overnight to deliver all replenishment activities across the store whilst getting stuck in yourself to prioritise deliveries, organise the warehouse and replenish shelves.
  • Often, you get to run a full store operation on your own overnight being responsible for the full shift and the safety and wellbeing of colleagues in store
  • Making sure that standards are brilliant come morning so we’re ready to serve our customers
  • People management is a big part of the role, managing performance and capability, conducting disciplinaries and ensuring scheduling and pay are accurate.

Our nightshift managers work full-time hours over 4 nights, as well as receiving a £4,500 premium on top of your base salary (Our nightshifts typically run from 22:00 until 08:00).

What makes a great nightshift manager:

  • Someone who is comfortable with nightshift working and is adaptable to the physical and mental impact of these shift patterns and understands the importance of providing a safe and healthy environment for their team.
  • Previous line management responsibilities in a fast-paced, operational environment.
  • Resilience to deal with both the mental and physical demands of working nights.
  • Provides brilliant customer service and coaches a team to do the same.
  • Has previous experience delivering and monitoring KPI's or other performance indicators.
  • Can manage disciplinaries, performance issues or other similar employee relations issues.
  • Leads operations and is comfortable doing this alone in the absence of more senior management.
  • Puts inclusivity at the heart of everything they do.
