Ready to take the next step in your retail career?

At Bensons for Beds, we’re passionate about helping people get a better night’s sleep – and we’re looking for an Assistant Store Manager who can help us make that happen.

With an OTE of up to £45,000, including our fantastic uncapped commission, this is an opportunity to take your retail career to the next level while being part of a team that genuinely loves what we do.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be a key part of your store’s leadership team, working closely with the Store Manager to drive performance and get the very best from your team.

You’ll spend plenty of time on the shop floor, using your sales expertise, product knowledge and passion for great customer service to help customers find the right products for their perfect night’s sleep.

You’ll also be a role model for your team – coaching, motivating and supporting our Sales Consultants to deliver an amazing customer experience and hit their goals.

No two days will be the same. You’ll be helping to:

• Lead and motivate your team to achieve sales and customer service targets
• Deliver an outstanding customer experience from the moment they walk through the door
• Coach and develop Sales Consultants, helping them reach their potential
• Support the Store Manager with the day-to-day running of the store
• Maintain high visual and operational standards
• Get involved on the shop floor, including moving products and keeping the store looking its best
• Identify opportunities to improve performance and maximise sales
• Create a store environment that your team can be proud of

Whether you're taking your first step into leadership or looking for your next management challenge, we'll give you the training, support and development you need to succeed.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is:

• A natural leader who knows how to motivate and bring out the best in people
• Customer-focused, with a genuine passion for delivering great service
• Driven by results and motivated by hitting and exceeding targets
• Confident and adaptable, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced retail environment
• A great communicator who can build strong relationships with customers and colleagues
• Daring enough to challenge the status quo and look for new ways to make your store even better

Most importantly, you’ll live our values of being Devoted, Driven and Daring.

Your earning potential 💰

We know that great performance deserves great rewards.

Alongside your competitive basic salary, you can earn up to £45,000 OTE, with our uncapped commission structure meaning there’s no limit to what you can earn.

You'll also have the opportunity to benefit from monthly store bonus payments when your store hits its targets.

The more you achieve, the more you earn.

And because our customers shop when they're free – including evenings, weekends and bank holidays – being flexible and available during these key trading periods is important.
