Working collaboratively within a small management team, I looked after a large team of 117 colleagues in a store taking £400k weekly, dealing with many tasks day to day. These tasks ranged from walking the store at the start of each shift and building a list of tasks for the day ahead to dealing with complex HR and payroll queries, staff schedules, holiday planning and resource management. The main part of the job entailed daily compliance with Company and Legal procedures and policies ranging from ensuring legal sales of alcohol to strict cash and stock controls and the relevant investigation arising from any discrepancies

Working in partnership with the store manager and deputy in his absence, I was responsible for looking after a team of around 25 employees on a weekly basis. As part of a stable and well rounded management team i have been a driving force behind turning around the branch into a model example of how a high volume discount retailer should be handled, During my short time with the company i have managed to achieve a great deal including:Bringing stability and consistent leadership to the store.Ordering stock to increase sales in most areas of the store.Improved on my already strong merchandising skills.Taken part in the recruitment and dismissal of staff.Maintaining and constantly trying to improve upon to the presentation standards of the storeConstantly pushing all staff to provide the best customer service possibly.Encouraging and enhancing the team unity and morale during some very difficult and challenging times.
