Sundries Department Manager - Bournemouth

Salary: Negotiable, dependent on experience

Looking to manage your own department in a busy, award-winning garden centre?
This is a fantastic opportunity to take your retail career to the next level. We don't often recruit for this site, as most promotions come from within. That means once you're in, the next step up could come quickly.

With a rich horticultural heritage, this garden centre has earned the prestigious 'Garden Centre of Excellence Award' from the GCA, cementing its reputation for quality and customer care.

The Role

As the Sundries Department Manager, you'll be responsible for:

• Leading and developing a small team

• Ensuring excellent standards across customer service, product quality, and shop floor presentation

• Managing day-to-day operations including:

  • Stocktakes

  • Recruitment and team management

  • Markdowns and wastage

  • Health & Safety compliance

• Playing a key role in driving the department's performance and contributing to the wider business

What We're Looking For

• Experience in retail management, ideally with team leadership responsibility

• Strong commercial awareness and a focus on customer experience

• Good attention to detail, particularly with product display and merchandising

• The ability to identify sales opportunities and improve department performance

• Horticultural knowledge is a bonus, but not essential - your leadership and retail skills are what matter most

The team is looking to appoint someone as soon as possible.
