Job Description

Contract: 12-Week Programme
Hours: 37.5 hours per week - weekday and weekend availability required
Location: Various stores across South East London
Recruitment Partner: [email protected]

Are you an experienced Retail Manager looking for your next challenge?

At Boots, we’re looking for experienced Store Managers who know how to lead from the front, drive performance, and get the best from their teams.

Our 12-week Programme is designed to help you get to know our business and step confidently into your next role with us, preparing you to take ownership of your own store.

This isn’t about stepping up for the first time. It’s for leaders who are already doing the job — managing performance, setting clear expectations, and keeping standards high — and now want to do it somewhere new.

During the programme, you’ll spend time across different London stores, getting hands-on experience and building a strong understanding of the Boots way. You’ll need to be flexible to travel during this time. Once you’ve completed the programme, you’ll move into a Store Manager role in South East London.

You’ll report to an Area Manager and take full ownership of your store — from performance and standards through to creating a team environment where people know what’s expected and are supported to deliver. The stores you’ll go on to lead need strong, steady leadership. You’ll be someone who is comfortable having honest conversations, setting clear expectations, and bringing consistency and focus every day.

This role suits Store Managers who are resilient, clear in how they lead, and comfortable being hands-on with their teams. If you take pride in improving performance, building accountability, and making a visible difference in store, you’re in a great position to be brilliant with Boots.

Key responsibilities

Lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional service and drive store performance
Build a team where expectations are clear, people work together, and take responsibility for results
Own sales and operational performance, keeping the customer always at the heart
Champion the Boots brand and make your store stand out
Get to know your people – what motivates them, and what needs to change
Manage performance and address issues early and directly
Coach your team and create a culture where everyone can thrive
Be bold and trying new things, and look for ways to improve every day

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

Experience as a Store Manager in a busy retail environment
Strong commercial awareness with experience implementing strategy in-store
Great customer service skills and a love for delivering care
A track record of managing and improving the performance of a team
A calm, flexible approach with the confidence to adapt at pace
A clear, consistent leadership style which builds accountability and a strong team culture
Resilience and determination — you stay focused even when things are tough
A genuine interest in Pharmacy
Passion for learning and a drive to support others to grow

It would be great if you also have

Experience in pharmacy, healthcare retail, or a regulated environment
Confidence using new technology and digital tools

Where your brilliance can take you

At Boots, your career can be as ambitious as you are. As Store Manager, you’ll be perfectly placed to build your leadership capability and take the next step. Whether that’s leading a larger, more complex store, becoming Deputy General Manager of one of our flagships or ultimately progressing into senior leadership roles such as General Manager or Area Manager, there’s plenty of room to grow at Boots.

We have field-based roles that influence operations, resourcing, clinical governance and colleague development across multiple stores, as well as opportunities beyond stores. If you’re looking to move into our Nottingham Support Office, we have a variety of positions across areas such as Commercial, HR, Marketing, Buying, Strategy, Finance and Supply Chain.

Whatever path you choose, we’ll give you the tools, training, and support to be brilliant with Boots and build a rewarding career you can be proud of.

Generous employee discount across Boots and partner brands for you and a family member
Discretionary annual bonus
38 days annual leave
Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption leave pay, and a gift card for those expecting or adopting
