Join Vision Express in Aylesbury as a Store Manager and take the next step in your career. This is a brand-new position in a joint venture store, created following a change in store ownership - making it an exciting time to come on board.
We're looking for a customer-focused leader who's confident engaging with people and passionate about delivering outstanding eye care and service. While experience in optics is preferred, it's not essential - what matters most is your ability to lead, motivate, and inspire a team.
As Store Manager, you'll play a hands-on role on the shop floor, supporting your team and ensuring every customer leaves feeling valued and cared for. You'll drive performance, manage KPIs, and lead regular 1:1s and performance reviews to help your colleagues thrive.
If you're passionate about people, love building connections, and are ready to take on a rewarding leadership role, this could be the perfect opportunity for you - especially if you're looking for your first step into store management.
