• Great Communicator & Team Leader – You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a talent for building and leading a strong, skilled operational team.
• Adaptable & Flexible – You’re open to adjusting working patterns (within reason) as agreed with your manager, ensuring we meet business needs.
• Self-Motivated & Organized – You can confidently manage your own workload while supervising and supporting your team effectively.
• Health & Safety Awareness – You understand H&S regulations, Food Safety, and COSHH, ensuring a safe and compliant workplace.
• Food Hygiene Certified – A Level 2 Food Hygiene qualification is required.
• Tech-Savvy (Bonus!) – Experience with EPOS, Goodtill, and Food Buy is a plus but not essential.
• Availability – This role may require evening, weekend, and bank holiday shifts.
