Cleaning Supervisor jobs in United Kingdom

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It's what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future. We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there's more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. The Living Wage Foundation's statement "a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay" is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what's inside that counts - whether that's an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

As a Store Manager, your primary focus will be crafting and delivering unparalleled customer service and experiences. You will wield the autonomy to cultivate a team that shares your passion for creating memorable interactions with our customers, fostering an environment where every visit is not just a transaction but a delightful experience. You'll also look to build strong connections within your local community, with other businesses and with charity organisations and campaigning groups. Your dedication to outstanding customer service will be the driving force behind the growth of your business, and we are here to empower you in achieving this mission.

You will be responsible for creating and executing "top box" goals for both the store and your team, ensuring that every decision aligns positively impacting these. You will constantly evaluate progress towards these goals, you will shape the team structure to optimise performance. The team structure for your shop is your responsibility to get right. It's up to you to effectively recruit and upskill all members of your team for the roles that you need. Which roles, what staff, and how many hours you use is down to you.

People are at the heart of our business. We want you to enjoy and challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know, so we've created a culture where your job description is a starting point, not an end goal. Our working style is flexible, fluid, supportive, and authentic. We value your drive to push boundaries, try new approaches, and continually enhance the customer experience, and you can count on our full support in these endeavours.
