Store Team Leader

We're excited to be opening our first Home Bargains store in Guernsey and are looking for Team Leaders to join us and help build a successful new team from day one.

This is an opportunity to be part of a brand-new store opening and play an important role in bringing Home Bargains to the Island. As a Team Leader, you'll work closely with the Store Management Team and be an integral part of the store leadership team, supporting colleagues, delivering excellent customer service, and helping to create a positive shopping experience for our customers.

The Team Leader role is the first step into retail management at Home Bargains and provides an excellent opportunity to develop leadership and people management skills. You will gain hands-on experience leading teams, supporting store performance, and contributing to the overall success of the business. Many of our Store Managers and senior leaders started their careers in Team Leader positions, demonstrating the opportunities available for colleagues who show commitment, capability, and a desire to progress.
