Job description

At Peacocks we pride ourselves on delivering stylish quality fashion at affordable prices on the UK High Street. Having first started life as Penny Bazaar in 1884, we are now considered as an established and staple fashion brand with a strong commitment to value for money. We aim to offer our customers wearable style for all the family, whether it’s budget friendly fashion or the latest fashion trends. Our stores provide a welcoming and enjoyable shopping experience, reflecting our dedication to outstanding customer service.

If you are looking to join our team of over 3000 employees across our 350 UK stores, we have an exciting opportunity for a Store Manager to join our team in Cross Gates, Leeds.

Located in the east of Leeds city centre, our store is in the heart of Cross Gates, known for its popular shopping centre and excellent transport links, including Cross Gates railway station which offers direct services to Leeds and York. Cross Gates is close to many green spaces like Temple Newsam and offers easy access to the wider West Yorkshire region.

As Store Manager, you will lead a passionate team, driving sales and ensuring an exceptional shopping experience for our customers. We are looking for a commercially aware and proactive retail manager who can work using their own initiative. Fashion retail experience is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.

• Sales Acumen: A proactive approach to driving sales and engaging customers.
• Training and Development Focus: Commitment to nurturing and enhancing team members' skills.
