Job description

Ready to take the next step in your retail leadership career and play a key role in the success of a busy store?

We're looking for an ambitious and hands-on Deputy Store Manager to support the leadership of our Boucher Road store. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced retail supervisor, team manager or deputy manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys developing colleagues and is ready to build the skills needed to become a future Store Manager.

At B&M, no two days are the same. Working closely with the Store Manager, you'll help drive sales performance, maintain exceptional store standards and ensure customers receive a great shopping experience every time they visit. From leading shifts and coaching colleagues to making commercial decisions and supporting store operations, you'll play a vital role in delivering results.

With over 800 stores across the UK and ambitious expansion plans, there's never been a better time to join a growing business that is investing in its people, supporting career development and creating exciting opportunities for growth.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the Store Manager in the day-to-day running of the store.
• Leading by example on the shop floor and creating a positive, customer-focused culture.
• Maintaining high standards of availability, merchandising and store presentation.
• Coaching, motivating and developing colleagues to help them perform at their best.
• Taking responsibility for the store in the Store Manager's absence.
• Supporting stock management, compliance and health & safety processes.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from leaders who can:

• Lead from the front, setting the standard for customer service, operational excellence and colleague engagement.
• Focus on what matters most, making decisions quickly and adapting to changing business needs.
• Develop and coach colleagues to build confidence, capability and performance.
• Take ownership of their area, using sound judgement and commercial awareness to deliver results.
• Lead by example, maintaining high standards and encouraging others to do the same.

You’ll Bring

• Experience in a fast-paced retail environment.
• Previous supervisory, team leader, department manager or deputy manager experience.
• A passion for delivering excellent customer service and operational standards.
• Experience coaching and developing colleagues.
• Confidence managing store processes, compliance and stock control.
• Flexibility to work weekends and bank holidays.
• FMCG or big-box retail experience is desirable but not essential.

Why Join B&M?

• Competitive salary plus bonus opportunity
• Up to 33 days' holiday
• 10% discount at B&M and Heron Foods
• Extensive training and development opportunities
• Clear progression pathways towards Store Management
• Exclusive retail and hospitality discounts
• Wellbeing support through our Employee Assistance Programme

Ready to Take the Next Step?
