Who are we?

We’re Pets at Home, a leading name in the UK’s pet care industry. If you’re passionate about pets, you’re probably familiar with our Pet Care Centres, Pets Grooming salons, and Vets for Pets practices across the UK. Our community-focused pet care stores are where local people help local pet owners give the best care to their pets.

What’s the role?

We’re looking for an experienced Store Manager Designate to lead our teams in the Brighton/Hove area. Reporting to the Area Manager, you’ll take full responsibility for managing your store and driving its success. You will focus on maximising sales, meeting KPIs, and creating a highly engaged and high-performing team. You’ll lead from the front, with a hands-on approach, making the store a great place to work and shop.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing the store’s daily operations, from stock control to customer service.
  • Leading and motivating a team to exceed sales targets and deliver top-tier performance across all KPIs.
  • Building a positive and fun work environment that inspires and engages your team.
  • Ensuring the store meets all health and safety requirements.
  • Providing excellent customer experiences, ensuring Pets at Home lives up to its reputation as the Best Pet Care Business in the World.

Who are we looking for?

  • You’ll have at least 2 years of retail management experience, managing a team of 10 or more in a fast-paced environment.
  • You’re passionate about retail and have a track record of achieving outstanding results.
  • You’re flexible and able to work a 7-day shift pattern, including weekends and bank holidays.
  • You’re a strong team player with excellent communication skills, able to engage and inspire your team.
  • You’re excited to undertake 6 months of industry-leading training, covering everything from customer service and pet care to health & safety.

We believe in rewarding and recognising our store managers with a comprehensive benefits package, ensuring your mental, emotional, and financial well-being. Some of the benefits include:

  • Annual bonus opportunities.
  • 28 days paid leave (rising to 33 days after 2 years), including 8 bank holidays.

“Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!”
