You'll support in delivering fantastic store standards every day and will use your commercial knowledge to maximise sales potential in store. In this role, it's a partnership - you work closely with your Store Manager, and play a key role in helping to run & lead a successful store. When your Store Manager isn't around, it's down to you!

Our focus on internal succession is something we're very proud of. Whether it's progression upwards or sideways, if you're looking to progress, B&M is the place for you!

What You'll Receive

• Management experience within a fast-paced and high turnover Retail environment
• Experience managing medium to large sized teams
• A history of working towards & successfully delivering KPI's
• Flexibility to work a range of hours, including weekends & bank holidays

• Competitive Salary & Bonus Package: Competitive salary with a rewarding annual bonus potential
• Clear Career Path: Job stability and a clear path for career progression... your growth matters!
• Training and Development: Extensive on-the-job training and internal growth opportunities
• Store Discount: 10% store discount across all B&M Retail & Heron Foods stores, with regular double discount events
