Customer and Trading Manager - Nightshift Belfast, Northern Ireland
Job description
Night shift is where the magic happens. Deliveries come in, shelves are restocked and everything has to be ready for the working day. It’s a great place to start, or develop, your retail management career, because it’ll help you develop all the skills you need.
You’ll lead the overnight team and be responsible for what happens instore during your shift; and great training will give you the confidence to lead your team, plan resources effectively and ensure customers are always delighted.
What you’ll be doing
Our purpose is that driven by our passion for food, together we serve and help every customer.
Your team will restock shelves, take in warehouse deliveries and help with overnight online picking.

We’ll give you the time and space you need to do all that properly. Because when our teams work really well together, our customers notice.
