Drive consistency and delivery of operational standards, policies and compliance measures across all stores.
Partner with the Regional Manager to support customer complaints and employee relations matters.
Ensure clinic deployment across the region is optimised to maximise customer access and operational efficiency.
Regularly visit stores to identify opportunities to improve operational effectiveness, productivity and colleague engagement.
Monitor key performance indicators, ensuring actions are taken to improve performance where required.
Ensure all stores operate safely, legally and in line with company policies and regulatory requirements.
Share best practice across the region, embedding a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Experience coaching and developing leaders to improve performance.
Strong knowledge of operational compliance and delivering consistently high standards.
Experience supporting employee relations and customer escalations.
Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and manage a varied workload.
Flexibility to travel extensively across Western England and South Wales.
