Job Description Our Store Assistant Managers are at the heart of our stores. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll lead from the front, support your team, and keep everything running smoothly. All while delivering a brilliant experience for our customers. If you’re looking for a role where you can grow, take ownership and develop towards becoming a Store Manager, this could be the opportunity for you. With plans to expand from 230 to 300 stores by 2030, we’re investing in our future, creating more opportunities for our colleagues to progress. The role As a Store Assistant Manager, you’re the go-to person on shift. One moment you might be helping a customer design their dream kitchen or bathroom, the next you’re supporting a delivery, or solving a customer issue. It’s a role that keeps you moving, thinking and leading all day. You’ll play a key part across all areas of the store, including: - Leading the store in the Store Manager’s absence - Driving performance through sales and strong service - Inspiring and supporting colleagues to deliver great customer service - Keeping the store safe, legal and operationally strong - Managing day-to-day operations At Wickes, we operate across four key areas of the store: - Helping customers find what they need (self-serve) - Supporting larger home projects from design to installation (showroom) - Delivering great service through our sales teams (assisted selling) - Making sure orders are fulfilled smoothly (order fulfilment) It’s a varied, hands-on role where you’ll build real leadership experience and learn every part of our business. About you - You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy variety and a fast-paced environment. This is a role for someone who’s comfortable taking ownership. We’re looking for someone who: - Has experience in a customer-facing environment - Can lead and motivate a team, even during busy or challenging days - Is organised, adaptable and solutions-focused - Brings strong communication and people skills - Takes pride in delivering a great customer experience Experience in retail, trade, or a similar environment is essential. But it’s only as important as your behaviour and mindset. What you’ll bring - A hands-on approach and willingness to get stuck in across all areas of the store - Problem-solving skills and resilience in a fast-moving environment - The ability to balance customer needs, team support and operational priorities - Confidence using systems and technology in day-to-day tasks - A full UK driving licence and flexibility to support nearby stores when needed What we offer - We’ll support you to grow and develop your leadership skills, with real opportunities to progress. - Up to 7.5% annual bonus + up to £300 per month gainshare bonus - 6% pension contribution matched - Up to 35 days’ holiday including bank holidays - 20% colleague discount - Save-as-you-earn scheme - Life assurance - Access to Digital GP and wellbeing support - Discounts and cashback across a wide range of retailers And you’ll be part of a supportive, down-to-earth culture where people genuinely look out for each other. A few things to know - This is a physically active, hands-on role. - You may occasionally support nearby stores, so some flexibility and travel is needed. - Flexible working can be discussed as part of your application. What to do next If you’re ready to take the next step in your retail career, build leadership experience and be part of a team that makes a real difference to customers’ homes, we'd love to hear from you.Apply today.
