Our Lead Nightshift Manager role is a brilliant step if you’re ready to stretch your leadership skills to fully lead and inspire a management team and department. You will have clear accountability, realistic expectations and structured support. It’s a win:win – we give you the time and space to coach your team and strengthen your leadership skills, and you help us to create even better in-store service for our customers and colleagues.

Your leadership experience could be in any customer focussed industry, not necessarily Food Retail. In fact, we’re keen to nurture the broadest mindsets in order to grow a management team that operates effectively across the store, so don’t worry if you don’t have the technical knowledge, we’re looking primarily for the desire to achieve success through your people and a love for connecting with customers.

What You’ll Be Doing

Our purpose is that driven by our passion for food, together we serve and help every customer.

You’ll be working in one of our busiest and most complex stores, reporting directly to the Store Manager and leading a team of managers. It’s fast-paced. Every day will bring unexpected challenges. You won’t always have the answers – that’s fine – but by solving short-term problems and making medium-term changes, you’ll support your team to keep delivering.

Our Nightshift teams are core to our stores always being ready for our first customers of the day. They restock shelves, take in warehouse deliveries and help with overnight online picking. As a leader, you’ll stay connected to the day time leadership team to understand the on-going plans and priorities and make sure everything is set up and ready for our colleagues and customers in the morning.

We recognise that working at night isn’t for everyone and an additional annual premium of up to £4,500 is applied to salaries for nightshift management roles, where eligible.

Specifically, your role is to set the direction of travel in your area for the next 1-3 months.

What Success Looks Like

There’s a lot to learn. Every day you‘ll be strengthening your existing leadership skills and adding new ones, here’s how:

• You’ll be coaching, motivating and guiding your managers to work as a productive team, building their capabilities and leading them through change
• You’ve mastered helping your team put themselves in the customers’ shoes, taking genuine pride in how we deliver a better service and spot opportunities
• You’ll be leading through communication; clearly articulating how we’re performing and inspiring improvements for now, and the next quarter
• Be confident in your ability to continuously prioritise and energise your team through the night
• You will be developing yourself as the operational expert and acting as a role model for your team
• You’re confident making decisions at pace and feel empowered and accountable to run your area of the store – and to deputise for the Store Manager
  
  

• Up to £4,500 premium for working nights, where eligible
• 4 night week - our full-time nightshift managers work their hours across 4 nights
• Discount card – 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
• Free food and hot drinks provided for Colleagues in all our stores.
