Designate Deputy Store Manager

Love retail? Thrive in a fast-paced environment? Ready to step up and support leading a high-performing store?

Join B&M as a Deputy Store Manager and play a key role in driving performance, developing people, and keeping our store running at its best!

Initially this will be a designate role to cover Bristol and could cover several of our stores across the area. Being flexible to travel across this area would be essential for this role.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll support the Store Manager, take ownership across the shop floor, and step up to lead the store in their absence. As a leader of your store, flexibility across days, evenings, weekends and bank holidays will be essential.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
