Job Introduction
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.
Ready to step up and make an impact? Apply now and see why so many of our colleagues say, “I only came in for one thing... but I came out with a career.”

-
Customers come first (and come back): Help create those brilliant shopping moments by offering advice, spotting ways to improve service, and making sure the team delivers smiles at every turn.
-
Keep the standards high, and the store looking sharp: From merchandising magic to compliance and safety, you’ll help make sure the store is a place customers and colleagues love to be.
-
Make space for success: Share ideas, spark improvements, and help showcase our products in the best possible way, all while keeping energy high and team spirit even higher.

Our store is scheduled to open early November. We are looking for successful candidates to be in post by mid October to complete their training programme ahead of the opening.

As part of the training programme, some training will take place in the UK and will require overnight stays. Candidates must be available to travel and stay overnight when required for training. All reasonable travel, accommodation and associated training expenses will be covered by the company.
