The Management Committee of the Hambledon Village Shop Ltd is looking for a dynamic Manager to lead the team of staff and volunteers. The Shop, Café and Post Office have grown in popularity under the previous manager, and turnover has increased by 70% in 2 years. However, this now needs to be translated to profit on the bottom line by careful management of stock, costs and, in particular, the recruitment, training and motivating of volunteers.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the following qualifications:

• A belief in the community shop ethos and the role it plays in the surrounding area;
• Responsiveness to customer needs with a strong focus on service quality;
• Commercial skills and financial awareness;
• The management skills to develop and manage a large team of volunteers;
• The ability to delegate roles among staff and volunteers;
• A ‘can-do’ attitude and friendly manner;
• Computer literacy with experience of Microsoft Office and EPOS systems;
• Some experience in catering, including barista skills;
• A minimum of Level 2 Certificate in food and hygiene.

We are offering a basic salary of £19,000 for a 40hr a week with a performance related bonus tied to key targets.
