Recruitment Partner: laura.bradley@boots.com
Are you an experienced retail manager who leads with care, takes pride in helping others, and knows how to bring a team together?
At Boots, our smaller Pharmacy stores are at the heart of their communities — and our Weston Super Mare, Monkton store is a great example. This is a well-established, local pharmacy with a small, close-knit team of three, including a store-based Pharmacist, where your leadership will have a real, day-to-day impact.
Guided by our purpose of “With you. For life.”, you’ll get to know your customers by name and build trusted relationships in a community-focused setting. Whether they’re picking up essentials or looking for clear, expert advice, you and your team will create an environment people can rely on.
This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll support a stable, well-performing team, continuing to build confidence, maintain high standards and deliver great care. You’ll understand what motivates your colleagues, help them grow and ensure the store continues to run smoothly and compliantly.
With easy access and free parking at the rear of the store, this full-time role offers a consistent working pattern (Monday to Friday 9–5:30 and Saturdays 9am–1pm), giving you both stability and balance. You’ll also be supported from day one with a structured 12-week induction to help you settle in and succeed.
If you’re looking for a role where you can combine pharmacy expertise (NVQ Level 2 essential), leadership and community connection — in a small store where you can really make your mark — this could be the perfect 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
What you’ll need to have (our must-haves)
- Retail management experience and strong commercial awareness
- NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Services (or other UK equivalent)
- Experience working in a UK dispensary
- Great customer service skills and a passion for delivering 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

It would be great if you also have
