• Recognising and celebrating colleagues within the team who are providing great service

You will need:

• To build strong, long-lasting relationships with colleagues to create a positive and inclusive team atmosphere that encourages everyone to do their best work
• To be a clear communicator, comfortable with using a variety of methods to keep your team well-informed and up to date
• To be comfortable taking the lead, and overseeing the store in the absence of your Manager
• To be a good decision maker, who is flexible in the way you think, and comfortable handling change to ensure everything we do is right for customers and colleagues
