1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am essentially the deputy manager of a small store. I lead and coach the team as well as perform many store activities. I muck in and complete tasks such as stock replenishing as well as management tasks such as planning rotas and completing daily requirements with cash and stock management.
