The role:
· This is a fully customer facing role, serving customers quickly, efficiently and in a friendly manner
· Ensuring customers have the best shopping experience, both in the shop and at the till
· Excellent product knowledge in order to advise and answer customer queries
· Replenishing stock on the shelves (fruit and veg, frozen, chilled, groceries) - this will involve some physical work lifting heavy boxes etc
· Caring for stock (rotation is key) to ensure customers leave with food in perfect condition
· Handling deliveries
· Keeping the shop in great shape and looking its best at all times
This is physically quite a demanding role as some of the products are quite heavy to lift and the stock room is quite a distance away from the shop. We do have trollies/sack barrows to move stock, but there is still quite a bit of lifting and carrying involved.
The role would be working every Sunday & 2 weekdays each week but there may also be opportunities to do more hours and to cover holidays etc should you wish.
