Are you an experienced retail leader who cares about people, takes pride in great customer service, and knows how to bring out the best in your team?
At Boots, our medium-sized stores offer the energy and variety of a busy retail and healthcare environment, alongside the opportunity to build strong relationships with your team, customers, and local community. Guided by our purpose, “With you. For life.”, you and your team will play an important role in supporting people through the moments that matter.
Boots is always evolving, with new services and brands being introduced all the time. You’ll play a key role in bringing these to life in your store—making sure they feel relevant and meaningful for your customers. Whether they’re picking up everyday essentials or looking for clear, expert healthcare advice, you’ll create a destination store people trust.
As a Store Manager, you’ll lead from the front—setting the standard and tone for great service and a team culture that feels supportive, positive, and confident. You’ll create an environment where your team feels trusted and able to do their best work, and where customers know they can rely on Boots.
This is a varied, people-focused role where no two days are the same. You might be coaching and supporting your team, helping a customer find the right product, or building strong relationships with local GP surgeries and healthcare partners.
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead a team, drive commercial success, grow people, and make a real difference to your local community every day, this could be the next step for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Store Manager, you’ll report into the Area Manager and bring energy, direction, and purpose to your store. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll get stuck in on the shop floor, supporting your team, and role modelling how great care and strong sales performance go together.
You Will
- Lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional service
- Drive sales and performance, balancing customer care with commercial goals
- Build strong relationships with GP surgeries, primary care networks, and actively engage with the local community
- Deliver NHS and private services safely and confidently, offering clear, trusted, and expert advice
- Champion the Boots brand and make your store stand out
- Get to know your people – what motivates them, and what needs to change
- Coach and support your team—helping them grow in confidence, skills, and experience
- Be bold, try new things, and use data and insights to look for ways to improve every day
- Create a store environment and experience your team can be proud of and that keeps customers coming back
