Job description

What you'll do

Store Manager Designate in Surrey and Sussex

40 hours per week

The first 12 months of the position will be spent covering Maternity leave in our Crawley store with an aim to then be placed permanently in our Redhill store from then onwards

At Toolstation, we’re not just interested in what you can bring to us today. We’re also interested in developing your talents, so you can grow with our business and become one of our leaders of tomorrow.

You’ll work across different stores within the region building up valuable experience. You’ll need to be flexible to move to locations where we need the most support and as such you’ll be a true ‘hands on’ team player, building critical management skills in a field based multi-site role.

Delivering an outstanding customer proposition. This isn’t your average retail role. It’s much more than an average Store Manager job. Of course, you’ll manage the Branch, but you’ll also be serving customers, checking deliveries, picking items from the warehouse and stocking shelves. And it can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. But if you take real pride in leading and motivating a team to achieve great things, our customers will notice and love us all the more for it.

This is a real development opportunity and you might wish to embark upon a Level 5 apprenticeship and/or undertake our management development courses to refine your skills.

What you’ll do

Day-to-day

Delivering great service. Ensuring your team provides a great customer experience, delivering sales through service.

Mucking in. Helping the team get the job done. Checking and unpacking deliveries, opening and closing the branch, stocking shelves, cleaning the branch and putting orders together.

Inspiring. Encouraging a positive mindset, building a culture of feedback, praise and recognition.

Asking questions and building relationships. Making sure your team get the development they need, supporting future business growth and succession. Making sure your customers leave the branch with everything that they need for the job.

Leading. From the front, coaching, motivating and engaging your team and creating a great place to work where engagement is key.

Building a fun working environment. Maintaining our great product availability and high branch standards, while making sure that your branch is somewhere everyone loves coming to work

What you'll bring

Knowledge. Be proud of your track record in developing high performing and engaged retail teams.

Hard work and passion. Be dedicated to leading a team to deliver sales through superb customer service and amazing results.

A love of teamwork. Be happy to muck in and get your hands dirty, and passionate about developing future leaders.

Customer Focus. Ensure the customer remains at the heart of everything you do.

Resilience. Have relentless determination to achieve results whatever the challenges, coaching your team to deliver.

Flexibility. Be flexible and happy to travel to where we need you most within your region. You’ll need a driving licence and the use of a car (except London). You’ll travel extensively at times and might be expected to work away from home on occasions.

Yourself.Bring your whole self to work and let your true personality shine through.

What you'll get

Our policy is to employ the best qualified people and provide equal opportunity for the advancement of employees including promotion and training and not to discriminate against any person because of gender,race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief or disability

And because we want to do our best for you, you’ll be supported all the way with training and development – including access to our very own Toolstation Academy programmes.

Plus, you'll receive some of the best benefits in retail.
