Job Description

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Retail Team Leader to support our showroom and counter operation and help bring out the best in our people.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who leads from the front, sets high standards and takes pride in delivering an excellent customer experience every day.

You'll be a visible presence on the shop floor - coaching, supporting and motivating the team, while still rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in.

The role

As Team Leader, you'll balance people leadership with day-to-day operational responsibility, including:

  • Leading, motivating and supporting the retail team on the showroom floor and counter
  • Setting clear expectations and maintaining high standards of customer service
  • Acting as a point of escalation for customer queries and issues
  • Supporting the day-to-day running of the showroom, ensuring it is well-presented, stocked and safe
  • Coaching team members through on-the-job guidance and feedback
  • Supporting new starters with training and embedding the right behaviours
  • Helping organise rotas, cover and priorities to keep things running smoothly
  • Monitoring standards, accuracy and stock presentation
  • Leading by example - serving customers, processing sales and supporting stock activity as required
What we're looking for

We're looking for a natural leader with the confidence to guide others and the humility to stay hands on:

  • Previous experience as a Team Leader, Supervisor or Senior Retail Assistant
  • Strong customer service background (retail or trade counter experience ideal)
  • Confidence communicating clearly and positively with a diverse team
  • The ability to coach, motivate and hold others to account
  • Good organisational skills and attention to detail
  • A calm, solutions focused approach, even under pressure
  • Confidence using systems and understanding the importance of accuracy
Our values in action
  • Customer First - you set the standard for great service
  • Be the Best - you care about quality, standards and continuous improvement
  • Do the Right Thing - you're fair, consistent and accountable
  • Community Spirit - you build trust and teamwork
  • Future Focus - you develop people and think ahead
What's in it for you
  • Monday to Friday working (Saturdays on rota if required)
  • Employee discount
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Discretionary annual bonus (based on company performance)
  • Extra holiday after one year
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - free, confidential 24/7 support for you and your immediate family, covering wellbeing, mental health, financial and personal advice

You'll be stepping into a role where your leadership genuinely matters - shaping the culture on the shop floor, supporting people to grow, and helping deliver a customer experience you can be proud of.

If you're ready to lead by example and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
