The Company
Somerfield are really going places. We are well on the way to achieving our mission of becoming Britain's favourite local grocery shop by providing convenience whilst maintaining quality, freshness & outstanding service.

The Role
Frequent internal promotions in this area mean that we are always on the lookout for possible Store Managers of the future! We are expecting a vacancy in this region to become available shortly, and are therefore looking to build up a ‘talent pool’ of suitable candidates so we can act quickly once this happens.

There has never been a better time to become a Store Manager with Somerfield. We are now part of The Co-operative Group and together we have become the UK’s fifth largest food retailer. As a successful Store Manager in one of our 3,000 stores you will receive a competitive salary, staff discount and, most importantly unparalleled opportunities to progress your career.

The Co-operative Food is enjoying a 17% increase in profit during the recession. So as well as being voted “Convenience Retailer of the Year” at the retail industry awards for the second year running, we are also very secure as part of the wider Co-operative Group. All of this combined with our ethical approach to business means we are able to offer more to both our staff and our customers and live up to our slogan – “Good with Food”.

The Store Manager role

At Somerfield, the life of a Store Manager is fast paced, varied and rewarding. No two days are the same and you will be challenged to lead and inspire others on a daily basis.

As Manager of a convenience focused food retail business you will have full accountability for every aspect of your store, and be the driving force that ensures success for your team in providing the highest level of customer service. You will get to know your local neighbourhood and will be responsible for building our brand and delivering our message within the local community.

Are you a Store Manager? The right individual

We are looking for high performing Managers with established retail management experience, an excellent understanding of financial information (knowledge of Profit & Loss) and a thorough commercial awareness.

Our Managers can clearly demonstrate strong leadership skills and team management, resilience when faced with problems, the ability to coach and train others effectively and to organise and prioritise efficiently. They are confident leaders, able to communicate with both colleagues and customers alike, are results-driven, customer focussed and open to, and advocates of, change.
