Store Manager

Here at CareCo, we're all about making life easier for people. It gets us out of bed in the morning, and it sends us home at the end of the day knowing we've done our bit to help somebody with their day-to-day struggles.

As a Showroom Manager, it goes without saying that you should ensure your team delivers only the very best customer service at all times. You should be compassionate, a good communicator, and able to lead your Team of Showroom Advisor's to achieving their targets.

We believe we're unique in the world of mobility because we recognise that our customers are, too. There's no one size fits all when it comes to solving a customer's mobility difficulties, so if you can think on your feet when you're presented with a problem you've never seen before, you're exactly what we're looking for.
