About the role :
Our food stores and their teams are at the heart of many local communities, and every great team needs dependable leadership.

As a Team Leader, you’ll be at the forefront of our business. Leading by example, you’ll help to set a pace that inspires your team to get involved and share ideas that keep your store at its best for our customers.

- Supporting your colleagues through people management activities (such as managing holiday requests and colleague scheduling), alongside the Store Manager.
