• Building and managing relationships, understanding the important role your store plays in supporting the local community.

Company Context

Morrisons acquired the McColl\'s business in 2022. Our convenience proposition consists of a network of 1,004 convenience stores and newsagents. Our stores are made up of Morrisons Daily, McColl\'s, Martins and R S McColl stores across England, Scotland, and Wales.

Offer and Benefits

• You will play a vital role in our business and have a huge impact on our success so not only will you receive excellent training, support and continued development but we will also offer a competitive salary, and superb benefits package which includes:
• 15% discount at Morrisons Daily stores and 15% at Morrisons Supermarket stores

At Morrisons we\'re really passionate about our people, and growing our own talent. That\'s why we have a Leadership School across all work levels in our business. So, wherever you work, if you feel you\'re ready to take the next step in your career, we\'ll provide you with all the leadership and technical development to give you the opportunity to succeed.

As a Store Manager your hours will be driven by the needs of your customers and the business. So early mornings, late nights and weekends are when you will most likely be working. However, flexibility will be required.

As part of this rewarding role, you may be involved in managing and interacting with children 16 and under, due to our large Home News Delivery operation. Therefore the successful candidate may be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check, or if you\'re based in Scotland, a PVG check before joining the business. Some of our stores offer their local communities post office services, therefore you may also be required to undergo a P250 check as part of your offer of employment, which includes a financial check.
