Morrisons Retail Manager

We are looking for a highly motivated, customer-focused Retail Store Manager with a growth mentality and a detailed approach to their day-to-day work to join our team and take the lead in our Morrisons Daily store, in the centre of our busy Frenchay campus.

A background of working in the grocery retail sector in a similar role is essential, as well as experience working in a large department within a complex organisation. From being proactive in improving the financial performance of the store, through leading a team putting the customer first, keeping accurate stock levels, all the way to ensuring the store standards are maintained at all times, the performance expected of the Retail team will show through your commitment, expertise and passion to achieve the very best in everything that you do.

Day to day, you’ll manage and oversee the complete operations of the retail store, managing the Team Leaders and Retail Assistants, training up new members of the team, setting and working to financial targets and managing the required Due diligence processes. 

There are many benefits to working with us, for example, a good work-life balance, an amazing pension scheme, excellent leave allowance starting at a minimum of 25 days, the option to buy a TOTUM card (student discount card), a cycle to work scheme and many more!

We expect all our retail staff to be available to work between 6:30 am and 12:30 am Monday to Sunday, with shifts on a rota basis, and it’s no different for the Store Management team.

This is a permanent role, working 37 hours per week, and we’ve got some really generous overtime rates to make overtime worth your while.

Any shifts after 8 pm attract an additional one-fifth of the hourly rate, and overtime is paid at time and a half, with double time on a Sunday.

Where you will be working

In this role, you’ll be based at our modern Frenchay Campus
