  • Overseeing store operations, including recruitment, stock management, and compliance with health and safety.
  • Acting as Duty Manager when the Store Manager is unavailable.
  • Leading by example and contributing to the store’s overall success.

We’ll provide comprehensive training and development opportunities to ensure you have the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional service and care to our customers and their pets.

Who are we looking for?
We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Have at least 1 year of management experience in a retail environment.
  • Are passionate about retail and delivering exceptional results.
  • Are flexible to work a 7-day shift pattern, including weekends and bank holidays.
  • Have excellent communication and leadership skills to engage and inspire your team.
  • Are ready to commit to 6 months of training, covering customer service, health and safety, and pet care.
