This role may qualify, but only under another code
Our best guess, SOC 1150, is not on the eligible-occupation list. The job could also be SOC 2251, which is on it, so we rate it Possible at most. Ask Boots UK what the duties are.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Ineligible 1150 (Managers and directors in retail and wholesale) · 69% match
- Possible 2251 (Pharmacists) · 20% match
About the role
Are you an experienced retail manager who leads with care, takes pride in helping others, and knows how to bring a team together?

You’ll get to know your customers by name and build genuine relationships. Whether they’re picking up everyday essentials or looking for clear, expert healthcare advice, you’ll work with your team to create a destination environment that people trust.
Boots is constantly evolving — bringing new brands, healthcare services and innovations into our stores. You’ll play a key role in bringing these to life in a way that feels relevant and meaningful for your local community.
As Store Manager, you’ll lead a close-knit team and create a positive and supportive culture where everyone feels valued, developed and empowered to do their best.
