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 a fantastic opportunity for a Store Manager to join our team in Stranraer.

Stranraer is a coastal town in southwest Scotland, located on the shores of Loch Ryan in Dumfries and Galloway. Historically, it developed as an important ferry port, providing a key link between Scotland and Northern Ireland, which helped shape the town’s economy and identity for many years.

The town is surrounded by attractive countryside and coastline, making it a gateway to the Rhins of Galloway peninsula. Stranraer has a small harbour, a mix of traditional and modern buildings, and serves as a local centre for shopping, education, and services for nearby villages. In recent years, efforts to regenerate the waterfront and town centre have aimed to strengthen its role as a welcoming coastal community with a strong sense of local character.

What’s in it for you?

• Be part of a forward-thinking business with excellent career prospects.
• Work in a supportive and dynamic team.
• Gain an industry-recognised qualification within your first 18 months, if desired.
• Enjoy a store location with convenient transport links.

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Sales: Lead your team to achieve and exceed sales targets, cultivating a performance-driven culture.
• Operational Management: Oversee the daily running of the store, ensuring efficiency and adherence to company standards while managing costs effectively.
• Maximise Profitability: Implement effective sales strategies and promotions to enhance store performance.
• Deliver Outstanding Customer Service: Ensure an excellent shopping experience for all customers.
• Team Development: Manage, coach, and motivate your team, providing training and development opportunities to support career progression.

What We’re Looking For

• Commercial Awareness: Understanding of the retail market with the ability to identify opportunities for growth.
• Strong Leadership Skills: Ability to inspire and guide your team to success.
• Sales Acumen: A proactive approach to driving sales and engaging customers.
• Training and Development Focus: Commitment to nurturing and enhancing team members' skills.

Join Peacocks and be part of an exciting and growing business where you can make a real impact. If you’re passionate about retail and looking for a rewarding career opportunity in Stranraer, we would love to hear from you.
