Assistant Shop Manager- Leven

We have an exciting opportunity for the right individual to join our team as Assistant Retail Manager at our Bakery Drive-Thru in Leven.

• Permanent Job
• 30 hours per week
• 5 days over 7 per week
• Pay £408 per week
• Weekly Pay

Your main role will be to support the retail manager in all aspects of operations and team management in your shop and everything that this entails, including:

• Leading by example and encouraging the team to achieve sales targets whilst providing our customers with a great shopping experience every time.
• Assisting Branch Manager with managing the team.
• Working closely with the Retail Shop Manager to support with monitoring and maximising the performance of the team.
• Completing compliance tasks to ensure that the shop is running diligently.
• All of our management like to muck in; when they’re not completing paperwork or cooking, they’re jumping on the till and helping their team with the lunch-time rush or grabbing a brush and sweeping the floor, whilst delegating tasks amongst the team.
• Morning, afternoon and late afternoon shifts are shared amongst management on a rota basis.
• Our managers handle cash every day and order the shop’s stock to ensure optimum availability for our customers.

So it's a busy hands-on, customer-focused role!

Previous retail management experience is preferred but we do also look for the right attitude and work ethic - full training will be provided!
