• Support recruitment, training and onboarding of new colleagues


• Manage performance, attendance and team engagement


• Control key commercial areas including waste, stock and labour


• Maintain high standards across availability, merchandising and compliance

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be expected to lead from the front and make decisions that impact the store's success.

Your Career with Us

We don't just hire Team Leaders - we develop future Store Managers. With structured training, real accountability and ongoing support, you'll have a clear pathway to progress within the Society.

• 15% discount at Fabb Furniture


• Access to My Staff Shop and wide retail discounts


• Stream - flexible access to your pay

Health & Wellbeing:

• 24/7 GP access, counselling & support services


• Grocery Aid & Co-op Credit Union support


• Wellbeing app & mental health support


• Eye care support

Family & Support:
