We are currently looking for an Assistant Manager to join our team. You would play a significant role in helping us to achieve our vision, being a key player in moving our business forward, with your natural ability to set an example for the team to engage, inspire and offer advice to our customers to ensure they choose the bed that suits them best!

Your role as Assistant Manager will involve:

• Deputising for the Store Manager in their absence, ensuring operational and brand standards are upheld in store.
• Completing management tasks as required on shift, ensuring you have enough staff and resources as needed.
• Using our unique SleepPRO™ technology to ensure our customers choose the right mattress for them, giving them a perfect night’s sleep every night, building rapport with them to advise on Sleep wellness™.

On target earnings £32,000 based on your sales target, but there is no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that!

Our busiest times tend to be when our customers are free to come in and visit the store, which includes evenings, weekends and bank holiday weekends. You would be expected to cover some of these as part of your working week but, we understand the importance of a good work life balance so would not be expected to work all of them.

It should be noted that due to the nature of our products, the role will involve you and your colleagues moving products around in-store and some cleaning tasks will be necessary to ensure the store and our products are in the best possible condition for our customers.
