Job description
Co-op. Store Supervisor / Team Leader
Location: Eastbourne Rd, Uckfield, TN22 5SP
Pay: £13.97 per hour & benefits
Contract: 24 hour contracts and overtime available.
Full training given
Our Uckfield Co-op store is based on the junction of Eastbourne Rd and Lewes Rd to the south of the town centre.
As a Co-op team leader, you’ll often be responsible for all store operations. You’ll manage a small but dedicated colleague group of team members and be the public face of this brilliant new store. If you’ve proven yourself as a leader before, particularly in a fast-paced retail environment, then now is the time to apply. You’ll help us to run our brand-new store, work within a professional team and support some brilliant local projects by sharing profits within the community.
It’s not just talk. It’s what we do.
What you’ll do as Team Leader
Supporting the successful running of the store, you’ll guide the team’s learning and development and be a go-to person for advice and support. There’s a wide variety of duties to handle, including;
- Being a key holder – often opening or closing the store
- Being a positive role model to the team
- Setting a standard of exceptional customer service and really getting to know our customers
- Actively promoting Co-op membership and the local projects we support
- Train and develop colleagues
- Ensure the store is safe and secure by performing daily checks
- Preparing and presenting our products, including from the bakery
- Keeping the store well stocked and looking at its best
Who can be a Team Leader at Co-op?
Ideally, you’ll have experience in a fast-paced, retail environment and from a position of responsibility but that’s not the whole picture. It's your personality, skills, motivation and values that matter.
You’ll need to show us;
- Organisational and time management skills
- Great communication
- Experience of supporting and coordinating colleagues
- Experience of handling and resolving customer queries
- The ability to think on your feet
- The ability to build relationships with people of all kinds
- Drive and ideas to help improve store sales
- An enthusiastic approach and willingness to always support your colleagues ‘hands on’
- Flexibility to work a range of shifts to support the opening times of the store
Please note, you must be aged 18 to take on this role, as it involves authorising age-related sales.
Working pattern: up to 5 varied shifts over 7 days including early mornings (store opening), afternoons, late evenings (store closing) and weekends, to be discussed at interview.
Why Co-op?
As the perfect springboard for career progression, store supervisor is a role that combines rewards and a sense of purpose. We’ll nurture your development, while you help us foster stronger community relationships. You can also look forward to a package that features:
- competitive pay rates
- flexible shifts/working hours and regular overtime opportunities. We provide rotas to your mobile phone 3 weeks in advance. So, you have time to plan around your shifts
- 20% off Co-op branded products in our food stores all year-round
- pension with up to 10% employer contributions
Building an inclusive workplace
We’re actively building diverse teams and welcome applications from everyone. We want to create an inclusive environment, where we can all celebrate our differences, contribute our best work and develop to our full potential.
Our stores are open when our customers need us, so we need candidates to be flexible enough to cover a range of shifts. At interview, we’ll ask you to provide details of your full and preferred availability.
