Store Team Member

Job Description

The Store Team Member role involves serving customers, operating checkouts, replenishing shelves, maintaining store presentation, handling stock, and following health, safety, and food-quality procedures. Candidates should have good communication skills, a friendly and reliable attitude, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a team. The role may require standing for long periods, lifting stock, and working flexible hours, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Previous retail experience is helpful but often not essential, as training is provided. Candidates are expected to provide helpful service, work safely, learn quickly, and contribute positively to the store team.
