We are seeking Saturday Farm Shop Assistants
About us & what we have to offer….
· We are a family run, independent, food loving farm shop on the outskirts of Chippenham
Our award winning and well regarded farm shop has built up a strong reputation for local and
home produced fresh foods over forty years of successful trading.
· Our Farm Shop is situated right next door to the farm where it all started and which produces lamb, pork, beef, potatoes & pumpkins for the farm shop we are open 7 days a week.
· We have an amazing team - our team have a wide variety of interests, experiences and foodie tastes
· We have lovely customers - we pride ourselves on customer service and that’s what makes us different to others
· We give you all the relevant training and tools to enable you to perform your job to the best of your abilities.
So, what do we look for in a new team member?
· A happy and methodical person who has foodie interests
· A passion for retail and customer service
· common sense and a smile
· a real team player who isn't afraid of hard work.
· Our Farm Shop Assistants play an important role, as they represent Allington when serving our customers. This comes with a high degree of trust, and so a strong sense of commitment and attention to detail are essential for this role.
The role:
· This is a fully customer facing role, serving customers quickly, efficiently and in a friendly manner
· Ensuring customers have the best shopping experience, both in the shop and at the till
· Excellent product knowledge in order to advise and answer customer queries
· Replenishing stock on the shelves (fruit and veg, frozen, chilled, groceries) - this will involve some physical work lifting heavy boxes etc
· Caring for stock (rotation is key) to ensure customers leave with food in perfect condition
· Handling deliveries
· Keeping the shop in great shape and looking its best at all times
This is physically quite a demanding role as some of the products are quite heavy to lift and the stock room is quite a distance away from the shop. We do have trollies/sack barrows to move stock, but there is still quite a bit of lifting and carrying involved.
The role would be working every Saturday but there may also be opportunities to do more hours and to cover holidays etc should you wish.
