Are you interested in becoming a Store Manager with one of the UK’s leading eyecare providers, selling premium eyewear brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley and Prada?

At Vision Express we are currently looking for two Store Manager Designates to support our stores in both the Newcastle and Teesside areas.

• 25 days annual leave with the opportunity to buy or sell holiday.
• Employee Assistance Program offering confidential support for your wellbeing.

• Solving complex problems for colleagues and customers.
• Remaining delivery focussed throughout challenging times.
• Being customer obsessed and providing exceptional customer service.
• Showing emotional intelligence to support yourself, colleagues or customers in difficult moments.
• Working as part of a winning team and taking lessons from mistakes.
• Managing a team, selecting and developing colleagues and working with HR.
• Displaying a positive attitude that has influenced others to commit to a cause.
