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.

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. Successful verification of this check by the Post Office is mandatory in order for candidates to start employment.

• Ability to influence, listen and understand other perspectives to inspire and think broadly about new ways of doing things
