Our Culture 

The Works is an awesome place to… well, work! Our atmosphere is supportive, friendly and inclusive. A second home-from-home where you can be your best and authenticyou. 

Our environment is busy, always moving and full of energy. Yet we still make space to share must-watch TV recommendations and our favourite page-turners. Because even superheroes need some downtime to fuel their imaginations! 

Your Mission

• Delight and inspire every customer by leading a team that offers an exceptional retail experience. With brilliant product knowledge and a touch of magic, you'll wow our customers with additional products and services, like our fantastic loyalty scheme.
  
• Create a store experience that's fun, friendly, accessible, and inclusive. You'll recruit team members who are full of potential, embodying our values and behaviours, to build a dream-team of retail superheroes.
  
• Collaboration is key! Join forces with fellow Retail Store Managers, Area and Regional teams, to share best practices and encourage continuous growth across the teams - we win together.
  
• Drive retail commerciality like a boss! Striving for fantastic sales and high performance across all KPI’s.
  
• It's not all about numbers. Your store will shine with excellent standards and impeccable merchandising. From cleanliness to pricing, you'll make sure everything is picture-perfect.
  
• As a Retail Store Manager, you’ll be on the front lines, shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, creating an environment that’s always ready to welcome customers with open arms.
  
• A master of promotional change: You'll be the magician behind transforming our space to align with the Matrix (no, not the movie!), and the hottest seasonal trends.
  
• You'll be a merchandising master, effortlessly placing products in both planogrammed and non-planogrammed spaces. You’ll soon be looking at a high SKU count like your best game of Tetris!

Being a great leader

As a great leader with wonderful people skills, you'll create an inclusive team where everyone feels that they can belong. 

• You'll inspire, motivate, and drive your team to reach their potential. You'll have them pumped with excitement and ready to conquer the world, delivering amazing customer service as the go-to people on the high-street for inspiration on reading, learning, creativity, or play.
  
• But let's not forget about the most important part… your team's well-being and aspirations. You'll be their biggest supporter, cheering them on. You'll have amazing everyday conversations with your team, discussing everything from their performance to their wildest career aspirations.

Your own personal career development

The best bit about this? You get to choose your own adventure. Whether you want to progress within Retail, explore our Support Centre, or conquer the Distribution, we'll find the perfect path for you and help you get there. It's like having a menu of career options!

• Level up within Retail, climbing the ladder to become a retail superstar taking on bigger stores, or by managing a collection of stores as an Area Manager and beyond. You'll be the hero who inspires and leads other stores to greatness.
  
• In the Support Centre, you'd be part of a specialist team that works behind the scenes to keep the retail magic alive, becoming an expert in a particular field and making sure the stores are supported every day like clockwork.
  
• And in our Distribution Centre, you'd be the master of logistics, ensuring that our products reach customers with lightning speed.

We’re big enough that you’d never need to leave! You can continue learning and developing until your heart's content – With that said... why would you work anywhere else?!

Our PERKS really are ‘The Works’
