Serving customers at the food counter and on the shop floor
Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety
Ensuring products are fresh, well-presented, and available throughout the day
Supporting with stock replenishment, deliveries, and general store duties
Providing excellent customer service at all times

What we’re looking for:

A passion for food and customer service
Experience in food preparation, retail, or hospitality (or willingness to learn)
A positive, team-focused attitude
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
Attention to detail and pride in your work

What you’ll get in return:

The chance to be part of a brand-new store opening
Generous colleague discount across Food Stores and Funeral
Pension scheme with 3.3% employer contributions
30 days holiday entitlement that increases with service
Structured training and development programmes
Career progression opportunities (including pathways to Team Leader and beyond)
A supportive team environment where your contribution is recognised
Access to colleague wellbeing support

This store is due to open in early August 2026. Successful candidates will be required to be available for training and induction during June and July 2026, supporting the store setup and launch.

If you enjoy working with food and people and want to be part of something new, we’d love to hear from you.
