We’re looking for an Assistant Store Manager to join our fashion store team in North End, Portsmouth so we could be the perfect match!

This role is for 21 hours per week, the successful candidate must be fully flexible across 7 days per week.

What does this role involve:

As an Assistant Store Manager, you support the Store Manager with the day to day running of the store and take full responsibility in their absence.

  • Maximising sales through physical and digital channels

  • Supporting with the recruitment and development of volunteers
