Salary: From £41,750

It’s time to focus – what do you want next in your career? If you want to stretch your operational management skills in a role that’s been carefully designed to allow you to concentrate on store operations, this is a perfect step forward.
Our store management structures let you prioritise what you do best. That means you’ll have clear accountability for running the store and delivering for our customers and colleagues, allowing you to build your own confidence and capabilities.
What you’ll be doing
Our purpose is driven by our passion for food, together we serve and help every customer.
Being the Deputy Store Manager in one of our larger, more complex stores means just that – leading the store in the Store Manager’s absence. You’ll be a visible leader on the shop floor, building trust and ensuring an inclusive culture.
Your focus will be on store operations, steering your Lead Manager to solve the day-to-day issues, driving and improving store performance across a shift whilst also looking forward across the next few months using data and insights to identify priorities for achieving our Retail and Digital outcomes.
Who you are
We’re flexible about your career trajectory. Maybe you’re already leading a team with one of our competitors. Or perhaps you’re running a smaller operation, like a convenience store. Either way, you’re almost certainly at the point where you’re looking for the right step forward towards a Store Manager role of your own.
What matters most is you – we don’t expect you to have all the answers from day one, but want to see that you’re motivated to develop, dedicated to bringing out the best in others and, like all of us, passionate about customer service. After all, that’s what our stores are all about.
Tech skills are high on our list – we see ourselves as ahead of the curve when it comes to using data and digital apps to improve our in-store experience. You’ll need to be flexible too – essentially your job is to support and cover for the Store Manager, so your hours will often need to fit around theirs.
How you can develop
This role is part of a structure where everyone has the support and the opportunity to deliver excellence. You’ll be coached by your manager to deliver great performance, whilst having plenty of scope to develop.
As a Deputy Store Manager you’ll be in prime position for a Store Manager role with us. You’ll also be well placed for a leadership challenge in head office or across the Sainsbury’s family: Habitat, Tu, Argos, Sainsbury’s Bank, and Nectar 360. Trust us – we know how to make the most of your potential.
What we’ll give you
Salary will be dependent upon your experience as well as the store size, complexity and location. Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for our managers, including:
* Private Healthcare – Eligible for single cover and to upgrade annually to family cover.
* Interest-free car loan of up to £10,000.
* Discount card – 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
* Free food and hot drinks provided for Colleagues in all our stores.
* Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
* Pension – we’ll match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
* Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates.
* Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice.
* Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
* Our Cycle to Work scheme gives you the opportunity to hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
* Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
