Working pattern:

Varied shifts including afternoons, late evenings (store closing), and weekends, to be discussed at interview. Role will also include working in our in-store bakery.

Full, paid training provided. You can apply for this role using your mobile device (no CV needed!). You must be aged 18 or over to be a customer team member at Co-op, as it requires working before 6am or after 10pm.

We’re looking for Customer Team Members to join our team at Co-op. When you join Co-op, you’ll get amazing benefits including 31 days holiday, a pension with up to 10% Co-op contribution, access to virtual healthcare services for you and your family, and a 30% discount on all Co-op products in our stores.

As a Customer Team Member, you’ll be part of a friendly team that’s dedicated to helping our customers. We’ll look to you to provide them with great service on the tills and the shop floor, while also performing a wide range of other tasks around the store like re-stocking shelves and cleaning up spillages.

At Co-op, we do things a different way. For over 175 years we’ve focused on making things fairer for our members and their communities, and as a colleague we promise to take care of you. You’ll get support for your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing, as well as market-leading policies to help you through life events from bereavement and pregnancy loss to fertility treatment and menopause.

What you'll do

• Friendly and thoughtful service – you’ll put customers first in everything you do: responding to queries, championing Co-op products and Membership, working in our in-store bakery, and doing all you can to deliver a great shopping experience.
• Work together to make everyone's day better – supporting your store colleagues to solve problems for customers and members.
• Make sure the store is safe and legal – keep the shelves stocked and ensure prices, dates, and temperatures are all as they should be.
• Help introduce new products and services – make changes feel natural, sharing experiences with your colleagues so everyone learns together.
• Support your local community – get involved in all kinds of activities and events!

This job would suit people who have

• A genuine care for the needs of customers and members.
• Great people skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with customers and colleagues.
• A positive approach to change and problem solving.
• The flexibility to work a range of different shifts.

Why Co-op?

• 30% discount on all Co-op products in-store plus 10% discounts on all other brands (increasing to 20% on payday weekends).
• A pension scheme with up to 10% employer contributions.
• Wagestream– a money management app giving you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it.
• 31 days of holiday (including bank holidays, pro-rata for part-time colleagues).
• Virtual healthcare services for you and your family, including access to GP appointments, eye care, mental health support, and nutrition and fitness consultations.
• 24/7 employee assistance service.
• YuLife – an app rewarding you for healthy behaviour with discounts and vouchers for your favourite brands.
• Full, paid training and dedicated support for your personal development and career progression.
• Rotas shared three weeks in advance and accessible on your phone.
• Cycle-to-work scheme.
