What will the apprentice be doing?

We are looking to recruit a Supervisor Apprentice for our shop in Derby Allenton. We offer a permanent full-time position working a variety of shifts, 5 days from 7 each week.

As one of our apprentices you will:

·       Make all of our customers feel welcome with a friendly smile and simple hello.

·       Help customers find the items they are looking for.

·       Give a fast and friendly service at the tills, always offering help to pack and leaving a good impression with a friendly thank you and goodbye.

·       Handle stock with care whilst working deliveries, quickly placing products into our freezers and onto our shelves ready for our customers to buy.

·       Work with the rest of your team to complete the daily and weekly routines that keep our shops clean and tidy.

·       Open and close the shop, handle cash, place orders and support your manager in leading the team to run an efficient shop and provide great service to our customers.

You will need:

·       A friendly, positive, hardworking approach to work.

·       To enjoy being busy as there is always something to do. As a junior member of management you’ll jump from putting out deliveries to serving on the till, helping customers on the shop floor, to organising other team members and more! 

·       To be reliable as you will be an important part of a small team. Your colleagues and customers will depend upon you to do your best on each shift and not let the team down.

·       A bit of flexibility when it comes to your shifts. When other members of your team are off enjoying their holidays, we may need you to work slightly different hours to cover for them. Rota’s are planned three weeks in advance and your commitments outside of work will be taken into consideration when planning your shifts.

·       Ensure that all work set by our apprenticeship provider is completed on time and to the best of your ability.
