Team Leader Retail

If you love footwear, fashion and people, Clarks is the place to be. As a Sales Team Leader, you'll be in the thick of the action, helping customers find shoes they'll adore.

Weekly Hours: 30 hours

In many ways, you'll be the face of Clarks - welcoming people into your store, where they'll find fantastic footwear and matching service. You'll achieve this by maintaining excellent standards throughout the store in order to create the best possible shopping environment. You'll make yourself readily available to customers, build a rapport to help them find what they want. That way, you can help them make the ideal purchase - and even find accessories to match. With these first-class people skills and great attention to detail, you'll have what it takes to meet targets and pre-set performance standards. You'll use your initiative and help the rest of the team, for example, keeping the shop floor neat or lending a hand in the stockroom.

A bit about you
Good with people and great in a team, you have a confident, friendly approach. You know when to make suggestions and sell other products, and when to let customers make their decision. An interest in fashion and footwear goes without saying. But it's also important that you can promote Clarks. A brand ambassador, you champion our products and take pride in being part of a respected global name. Experience in a similar role would help, as would a flexible approach to hours.

Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since its foundation in 1825, when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. At the time it was ground-breaking; a combination of invention and craftsmanship that's remained at the heart of what the brand does now. In the Clarks archive of more than 22,000 pairs are shoes that have sparked revolutions and defined generations. From the original Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950 to the iconic Wallabee, each design has an instantly recognisable signature - a unique combination of craftsmanship and innovation that make it unmistakably Clarks. Clarks is a global business operating retail, wholesale, franchise and online channels in over 100 markets worldwide supported by nearly 10,000 employees across the world.

As well as a rewarding career, development opportunities and a competitive salary, you'll also enjoy a generous holiday allowance and the opportunity to join the company pension scheme.
