The proposed shift pattern is as follows:

• Tuesday 10:00 - 12:00

Whilst providing a high standard of customer service, you will portray a friendly professional image and act as an ambassador for the Cohens brand.

The successful candidate must have great people skills as this is paramount to your role. You will be required to work as part of a well-established team and ensure our customers receive a high standard of service.

If successful, additional benefits for you could include:

• Discretionary bonus scheme
