We are recruiting a Shop Manager

The shop manager job is a lovely role where you get to work with great produce and wonderful people. The role requires a lot of care – we need someone who can take care of our produce, our shop, and our people, whether they are volunteers or customers.

The role is perfect for someone who is well organised, likes a bit of responsibility, can be creative, and with good customer service experience.

This is the type of job where you are dealing with orders and deliveries, managing stock on our till system, trying to reduce waste, selling our products that you will become more knowledgeable about over time, while also brushing the floor and putting the bins out – and working alongside our board of directors to ensure the business is viable.

If you have run a small business before we’d love to hear from you – but if you haven’t and you’re interested in learning, this could be the perfect job for you.

We have a team of volunteers ready to help and there is plenty of variety to keep you interested and busy.

If you are interested, send us an email explaining why you would like to work for Carrick Greengrocers and answering these points:

• Tell us about your experience in a busy retail, hospitality or other customer service environment.
•  Do you have experience managing supplier relationships, stock management and invoicing?
• Tell us about your experience with IT systems including Excel?

Email carrickgrocers@gmail.com by 6pm on 29th November 2024. We are aiming to hold interviews within two weeks of the deadline. If you have any queries before you apply and would like to chat, please get in touch.
