Hours: 20 hours per week

Contract Type: Permanent

Working pattern

This is a part time position with a contract of 20 hours per week.

The days/times that we are recruiting for and would like you to be available to work are:

Fridays, Sundays and 1 weekday late night.

As part of your contract, we ask for availability that is, as a minimum, one and a half times your weekly hours. For example, if you were on a 10-hour contract, we would ask for 15 hours of availability. This doesn’t mean you will work 15 hours (unless there is overtime available, and this may be offered to you) but your shifts may be placed anywhere within the availability you provide. This helps us build fair, consistent rotas, and ensures we can meet customer demand across the week. With this role being in Retail, you must also be available to work one late night and one weekend day per week.

You will have 3 weeks’ notice of when your shifts will be. If you can’t exactly match the hours and days we are looking for, this can be discussed. We are always happy to hear from you.

The Role - Counters/Café 

Our customers will be your main focus, and everything you do will be with their shopping experience in mind. As a Specialist Customer Assistant, you will be working across our Café and Counters.

As a member of our Counters team, you will work with a variety of meat, fish, and dairy products, ensuring all items are handled and prepared to the highest standards. Within our café, you will be responsible for food preparation, serving customers at the tables, and maintaining exceptional standards of cleanliness and hygiene at all times.
