Branch Manager

Are you ready for a new challenge?

Well, if you are passionate about leading, developing and inspiring your own team as well as delivering great customer service then this is the role for you.

About the role

As a Branch Manager you’ll be at the heart of our retail network and at the forefront of delivering YBS’ purpose. You’ll successfully lead the Stockport and Manchester Branches to ensure that every customer receives a great service and that colleagues are motivated and enabled to deliver this.

To do this you’ll provide effective leadership to a team of Customer Consultants. You’ll support, coach and mentor them and help them with their learning and development so they can have quality conversations with customers.

From an operational perspective, you’ll ensure your branch works to high quality, risk, health, safety and security standards. You’ll also optimise resources to match customer demand and make the best use of your teams’ time, delivering cost efficiencies wherever possible and ensure that you are playing your role in delivering the retail strategy.

A key element of the role will also be to enable colleagues and the branch to reach out into the community in which you operate.

Here's what the Retail Area Manager had to say about Stockport:

" This is an amazing opportunity to join our successful team and if you are looking to grow, develop and be a better version of yourself this is the place to be.

We have a fantastic team bond underpinned by a shared goal of providing joyful customer experiences and look forward to welcoming someone new to our team to share and celebrate our successes.

We are committed to growing our business and are extremely passionate about everything that we do and how that we do it.

Personal development is a top priority, and we will support your growth and actively encourage you to seek further opportunities to build your skills and capabilities.

This is a fast-paced role where no two days are ever the same, so you are guaranteed to learn something new every day.

We have a real desire to provide real help with real lives and are committed to working with our local community. Whether it be volunteering for Fareshare, delivering Money Minds sessions at local schools, or arranging other community events, there is something for everyone to get involved in.

We also like to have some fun along the way so if this sounds like the right opportunity for you then please get in touch."

About you
