Store Manager - Opticians

Altrincham, George St

Permanent

Full-time

Job Description

Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time - 37.5 hours
Recruitment Partner: [email protected]

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 a team?

We’re looking for a confident Store Manager to lead our Boots Opticians store in Altrincham – a large, high street location within a busy Boots store, with excellent tram and train links just outside Manchester city centre. With a team of around 15 colleagues and a strong foundation already in place, this is a great opportunity for a strong leader to step in, build momentum and drive performance forward.

This store has a good, capable team ready to be guided and supported. Your role will be to bring clarity and direction — focusing on driving sales, improving KPIs, supporting clinicians and creating a consistently great experience for every customer.

Boots Opticians is always evolving, with new products, services and ways of working being introduced. You’ll play a key role in bringing these to life in your store, making sure they feel relevant and meaningful for your local customers.

As Store Manager, you’ll lead from the front — visible on the shop floor, setting the tone for service and creating a culture where people feel supported, confident and able to perform at their best. You’ll work closely with your team to understand what’s working, where improvements can be made, and how to keep raising standards.

This is a full-time role, working 5 days across Monday to Sunday (with a shorter trading day on Sundays). You’ll be supported with a structured 12-week induction and buddying to help you settle in and succeed.

This role is ideal for an experienced leader with a track record of managing teams of at least 8 colleagues, who’s ready to take ownership of a larger, more complex store. Optics experience is preferred, but not essential — we’ll support you to build your knowledge.

If you’re looking for a role where you can turn potential into performance, develop a strong team and make a real difference in a busy, high street environment, this could be your next step.

What you’ll be doing

As Store Manager, you’ll report into the Regional Manager and bring energy, direction and purpose to your store. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll spend time on the shop floor, supporting your team and role modelling how great care and strong sales performance go hand in hand.

You’ll balance the day-to-day running of the store while keeping a clear focus on people, standards and experience.

You will:

Lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional service
Drive sales and performance, balancing customer care with commercial goals
Champion the Boots Opticians brand and make your store stand out
Get to know your people — what motivates them and where they need support
Coach and develop your team, building confidence, skills and experience
Use data and insight to identify opportunities and improve performance
Create a store environment your teams are proud of and customers want to return to

What you’ll need to have (our must-haves)

Retail store management experience
Strong customer service skills and a genuine passion for customer care
Experience driving performance and implementing strategy in-store
A calm, flexible approach with the confidence to adapt at pace
A collaborative style, with the ability to build strong team culture and local relationships
A passion for learning — you’ll complete our Step into Optics programme within your first few months

It would be great if you also have

Confidence using digital tools, systems and performance insight
Experience leading larger teams or multiple locations
Optical or clinical experience

If you don’t come from an optics background, you’ll need to be an experienced Store Manager who is ready to learn quickly. You’ll be supported by a knowledgeable team and your Regional Manager, and expected to complete our Step into Optics within your first 3 months — so drive and determination are key.
