40 hour contract We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play. You could recommend the paint set that helps someone discover their inner artist. The book that inspires a future author. The game that brings a family together. Or the puzzle book that reconnects someone with a treasured memory. You never know what future outcomes your customer interaction might spark, or who someone might become. With your passion and our products, you'll help people discover new interests, explore their creativity, find a new hobby or reconnect with something they once loved. Whether you're engaging with customers on the frontline or supporting our colleagues behind the scenes, your impact can be profound and far-reaching. The unseen possibilities are limitless - and it all starts with you. As a Store Manager, you are responsible for leading your store to success. You'll inspire and develop your team, drive commercial performance, and ensure every customer enjoys a welcoming, well-run, and engaging shopping experience. You'll take ownership of all aspects of store operations, from people and performance to standards and service. Your mission is to deliver exceptional service, spark brilliant conversations, and help customers with their shopping missions - whether it's discovering new products they'll love, or finding the perfect gifts for someone else. By getting to know their interests or shopping mission, you'll be ready to recommend things that surprise, delight, and inspire them. You'll also play a key role in keeping the store well-stocked, tidy, safe, and welcoming. You help create an environment where everything runs smoothly and everyone feels supported, included and developed in the team. Being a brand ambassador at The Works isn't your job title. It's the way you bring our brand to life every day through the moments you create. It's the smile that puts someone at ease, the warm welcome into the store, the way you support your colleagues with kindness and teamwork, the conversation that helps a child discover their new favourite toy, or the encouragement that inspires someone to reconnect with their creativity, or their love of reading. These small interactions - the ones that feel ordinary to you, often become extraordinary memories for the people who walk through our doors. Whether you're on the shop floor, in our distribution centre, or at our support centre, you'll always be representing our products, services, values and behaviours in a positive and authentic way, whatever the environment, where ever you are. You help build trust, brand awareness and loyalty simply through how you show up.
