Store Manager

at  Bensons for Beds

If you ask anyone who works for Bensons what they love most about working here, it’s the people! We want all our colleagues to feel like they’re getting out of the right side of the bed every morning, and we want you to inspire them to do just that.
As a Store Manager in our Wigan Store, we want your product knowledge and ability to engage with customers and your team to drive your store’s performance. You’ll still have the chance to be on the shop floor and help our customers to find Sleep wellness ™ with the right sleep products, but we also want you to lead and inspire your team of Consultants. This means that our unique sleepPRO™ technology won’t be the only one making sure that customers and colleagues alike can get the best night’s sleep! We’ll make sure that you’re fully trained on products, processes and people because we rest easy when we know you’re set up for success, but we won’t stop there. Like our mattresses, we’ll also provide ongoing support (and training) to make sure you can build the career you want.
We want our stores to be somewhere our teams can be proud and to show off our products, so you’ll lead your team to get stuck in, move product around, and maintain the standards that create the best sleeping experiences!
Our customers are in when they’re free to shop, so we’re talking evenings, weekends and bank holidays, this is where you’ll be able to make the most of our fantastic, uncapped commission structure, so it’ll be essential for you to be available to take those opportunities while finding the right balance.
What we’re dreaming of seeing:
We’re looking for an accomplished Store Manager who can coach and motivate your team with pride, passion, and a positive ‘can do’ attitude, and who can embed our values of being devoted, driven and daring!
We know you’re up for delivering fantastic customer service, ensuring our customers have an outstanding store experience. You’ll blend business management, commercial know-how and a real dedication to seeing your team (and so your store) perform financially, professionally, and personally to create success. The question is, are you ready to lead by example, to try new things to help your business move forward?
The cool side of the pillow (our benefits):

We know you’ll work hard to drive your store’s performance, so as well as your base salary and OTE based on your targets, there’s no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that. There’s also monthly store bonus potential when your store achieves its target! In addition, we offer:

• Health and Wellbeing: *Medicash - cashback options for Health and Wellbeing services, Access to Retail Trust services (guidance and support on retail issues, mental health, wellbeing & financial topics), *BUPA Private Healthcare
• Financial: Unum Income Protection - for peace of mind if you’re off work long term due to illness, *Pension scheme – provided by Legal & General
• Discounts: *Employee discounts for Bensons products, *Gym membership, Cycle to Work scheme
• Leave: Annual leave buy & sell scheme – you can top up your holiday entitlement or sell unused days to suit you, *Enhanced maternity and adoption leave 
• Your Career: Learning and development programmes to expand your knowledge and skills, access to internal opportunities to progress your career at Bensons for Beds

(*qualifying periods apply)
