About The Organisation
Here at Big Yellow, people are at the heart of our business. When customers visit one of our stores, their journey begins with you. That’s why it’s essential you showcase your personality including integrity, empathy and a genuine passion to help others. We are a small but close-knit company, where each individual person matters. Despite our rapid growth over the past 25 years, we’ve maintained a strong family feel, and our success has come from great people, delivering an outstanding customer experience. We take a can-do attitude, combined with always doing the right thing – whatever the challenge.
We take great pride in the culture we’ve created—a fun, supportive, and positive place to work. Our store teams are small, allowing colleagues to work closely together, build trust, and form strong relationships. The role itself is highly varied, making it ideal for those who enjoy a job where no two days are the same. But it’s not just about work—we also encourage our teams to socialise, connect, and celebrate their successes together.
So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with everything in the job description, we would encourage you to apply. It’s not just your skills we are looking for, it’s your personality. If you have great leadership skills, a genuine desire to support and inspire your team, a positive attitude and are not afraid of a challenge, please get in touch.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, responsibilities for dependents, age, physical / mental disability or offending background. If you require us to make any adjustments to our interview process, then please let us know.
