Team Leader - Step Into Store Leadership
We're looking for a Team Leader to join our Market Bosworth Food Store (16 hours per week).
This is your opportunity to move beyond a standard retail role and take real ownership-leading a team, driving performance, and building the skills to progress into Store Management.

You'll:

• Drive excellent customer service and make us the go-to store in the community
• Support recruitment, training and onboarding of new colleagues
• Manage performance, attendance and team engagement
• Control key commercial areas including waste, stock and labour
• Maintain high standards across availability, merchandising and compliance

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be expected to lead from the front and make decisions that impact the store's success.

• Experience in retail or a fast-paced customer environment
• Previous supervisory or leadership experience (or ready to step up)

• A natural motivator who can get the best out of people
