About the Role

To be employed in this role you must be over the age of 18.

Our operation runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, which brings a wide variety of shift patterns. If you're looking for flexible working to fit around your lifestyle, then look no further! We'll work with you on your shifts, but late and weekend working is a requirement of the role, and we may need to be flexible with your work pattern.

As a Section Leader, you'll be the first point of contact for your team. You'll assist with training colleagues and keeping them fully informed by communicating messages in team ‘huddles'. You'll ensure colleagues are available to maintain product availability and meet customer expectations through careful planning of overtime and holidays, ensuring colleagues are in the right place at the right time.

We'll help you to train in different areas and continually develop your skills, so if you're looking for a chance to develop in retail, this could be the role for you!

About You

You'll be naturally friendly and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You'll have an enthusiastic approach to learning new skills across different departments and be a strong coach, mentor, and motivator for your team. You'll be a role model to the colleagues around you, ensuring customers have a great shopping experience.

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll get lots of other great benefits too, including:

• Colleague discount: 15% off your shopping at Asda from day 1 for you and a nominated user
• Discounted rates and special offers on Asda services such as Mobile, Pharmacy, Opticians, Personal Loan, Pet Insurance, Travel Insurance, Travel Money, Tyres, Breakdown Cover

• Asda Allies Inclusion Networks – helping colleagues to ensure everybody is included and that our differences are recognised and celebrated.
• Excellent parental leave policies, including maternity & adoption leave, paternity leave, shared parental leave, neonatal care leave, and support for those doing fertility treatments.
• Colleague recognition programme
• Special offers and discounts across a range of services and activities, from airport parking to theme parks and cinemas.
