Job Description

Are you an experienced retail leader who cares about people, takes pride in great customer service, and knows how to bring out the best in your team?

At Boots, our medium-sized stores bring together retail and healthcare in a unique way. Guided by our purpose, “With you. For life.”, you and your team will play an important role in supporting people through the moments that matter.

As a Store Manager, you’ll lead from the front - setting the standard for safe healthcare practices, great customer service and a team culture that feels supportive, calm and confident. You’ll create an environment where your team feels trusted and able to do their best work, and where customers know they can rely on Boots.

Over time, you’ll get to know your customers by name and build genuine connections. Whether they’re picking up everyday essentials or looking for clear, expert healthcare advice, you’ll create a destination environment people trust.

Boots is always evolving, with new services, and brands being introduced all the time. You’ll play a key role in bringing these to life in your store - making sure they feel relevant and meaningful for your customers.

This is a varied, people-focused role where no two days are the same. You might be supporting your team with dispensing, guiding your store through high volume, helping a customer find the right product, or building strong relationships with local GP surgeries and healthcare partners.

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead a team, drive commercial success, grow people and make a real difference to your local community every day, this could be the next step for you.

What you’ll be doing

As Store Manager, you’ll report into the Area Manager and bring energy, direction and purpose to your store. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll get stuck in on the shop floor, supporting your team, working in the dispensary and role modelling how great care and strong sales performance go together.

You will:

Lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional service

Drive sales and performance, balancing customer care with commercial goals

Build strong relationships with GP surgeries, primary care networks and actively engage with the local community

Deliver NHS and private services safely and confidently, offering clear, trusted and expert advice

Work in and run a well-organised and compliant dispensary, where attention to detail really matters

Champion the Boots brand and making your store stand out

Get to know your people – what motivates them, and what needs to change

Coach and support your team - helping them grow in confidence, skills and experience

Be bold, try new things and use data and insights to look for ways to improve every day

Create a store environment and experience your team can be proud of and that keep customers coming back

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

Retail management experience leading larger or multi-skilled teams

NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Services (or other UK equivalent)

Experience working in a UK dispensary

Great customer service skills and a passion for customer care

Ability to lead performance and implement strategy in-store

A calm, flexible approach with the confidence to adapt at pace

A collaborative style. Able to build both a strong team culture and profitable external relationships

Passion for learning and a drive to support others to grow

It would be great if you also have

Confidence using new technology and digital tools

Experience coaching future leaders and developing talent

Where your brilliance can take you

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

If pharmacy is your passion, you can build your clinical expertise, train as an Independent Prescriber, or move into Care Services or field roles that influence operations, resourcing, clinical governance and colleague development across multiple stores.

There are also opportunities beyond stores. If you’re looking to move into our Nottingham Support Office, we have a variety of roles 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 and flexible career.
