What you'll be doing
- Leading from the front: running the shop day to day, on the floor with your team and your customers rather than behind a desk.
- Growing the business: spotting opportunities, building a loyal local following and finding fresh ways to bring more people through the door.
- Coaching your team: training, motivating and developing a keen team, helping them grow in confidence and skill.
- Setting the standard: making sure every customer gets friendly, attentive service and that the shop is spotless, well presented and run to high food safety and hygiene standards.
- Keeping things running smoothly: rotas, stock, ordering, opening and closing, cash handling and daily checks.
- Protecting the feel of the shop: keeping that cosy, welcoming atmosphere our regulars love.
Who we're looking for
Above all, you're a people person. Our shop is small, so you'll be working up close with customers all day — and you'll love every minute of it.
You'll have:
- Previous experience in hospitality, ideally in a supervisory or management role (café, bakery, coffee shop, restaurant or similar)
- A genuine passion for bakery goods and great food
- Bags of enthusiasm, drive and positive energy
- A track record of great customer service and a natural, friendly manner
- Confidence leading, training and motivating a team
- A solid understanding of food safety and hygiene
- The ambition to grow sales and make the shop the best it can be
It would be great if you also have:
- A Level 2 or Level 3 Food Hygiene certificate
- Experience with rotas, stock control and ordering
What we offer
- £16 per hour
- Early finishes — done by 3:30pm every day
- Two consecutive days off each week
- The chance to make a real mark on a much-loved local shop
- Support from our wider team, including our Harrogate shop
