About the Role

Our stores are packed with thousands of products, from clothes and household items to tinned foods and frozen goods, and without our warehouse teams they wouldn’t be on the shelves for our customers.

You’ll be responsible for driving performance and encouraging a teamwork mentality. You will deliver coaching support development within your team and hold regular team ‘huddles' to ensuring your team are kept engaged and up to date.
