About the role
Availability WindowOur Shift Leader rate of pay starts from £14.28 an hour; this increases to £15.41 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location and skills.
It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.
The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work – the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for our colleagues, therefore if the times you’re available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

- Keeping the team well-informed and up to speed on any communications, changes, or updates
- Staying knowledgeable about store performance, and looking for ways to improve and simplify operations
- Coordinating store improvements, and removing any obstacles that might be getting in the way of great service

- 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
