“Being a Store Manager at The Entertainer really is the best job! No two days are ever the same! The job entails hard work and commitment and Christmas is crazy busy, but, the buzz you get working in the lead up to Christmas here makes the hard work so worth it! Helping Santa prepare for the big day, I mean who wouldn’t want to be involved in that?! I love the training and career opportunities in this company, I am passionate about training and because of that my store is a Training Store. My Team and I love welcoming new Managers to the business and teaching them all about their new roles. My team are amazing! They make my job even better as they are always full of enthusiasm and they all work incredibly hard! I couldn’t do what I do without them! A Saturday is brilliant instore, we get to demonstrate toys to the children and their parents, they get to have a go too. We regularly hand out balloons and have activity sheets and competitions for them to get involved with. It really is amazing making memories with them! Seeing them come up the little steps at the till with their toys and the biggest smiles makes everything we do here worthwhile. I love my Job and always feel appreciated and valued for what I do!” Leiane, Store Manager We reserve the right to close this vacancy before the published closing date, should we receive sufficient applications for the role, thank you.
