We're looking for a friendly and enthusiastic person to join our small team as a Fishmonger & Shop Assistant. This role is all about delivering excellent service to our customers - from helping them choose the best fish for dinner, to preparing it with care, and making sure their visit to the shop is welcoming and enjoyable.
No two days are the same - one moment you'll be filleting fresh fish, the next you'll be chatting with customers about recipes, or keeping the shop looking its best. What matters most is a positive attitude and a genuine love of good customer service.
Role duties:
Preparing and presenting fresh fish and seafood to a high standard (full training will be provided).
Assisting with deliveries, stock rotation, and displays.
Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the shop, including workstations and storage areas.
Engage with customers, providing knowledgeable assistance regarding products and services.
Cooking homemade products we sell in the shop.
Follow all health and safety regulations to maintain a safe working environment.
What we are looking for:
A people person with great customer service skills.
Someone reliable, approachable, and keen to learn.
Someone who is flexible with working hours. Some weekend work is required with this role.
Previous fishmonger or retail experience is a bonus, but not essential - we'll teach you everything you need to know. Previous experience in food production/preparation or any culinary role is highly desirable.
A confident and responsible individual that can take initiative.
Requirements
:
Must be okay to work with fish and shellfish. This can be a messy job - old clothes and appropriate footwear is needed.
Must be fit for work. This role can be physically demanding as you will be on your feet most of the day and there are tasks that require lifting, carrying and bending.
Understanding, or willingness to learn and abide by, food safety practices and regulations is essential.
Experience with interacting with customers would be advantageous.
Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively as part of a broader team.
A positive attitude towards learning new skills and adapting to various tasks as needed.
What we provide:
Friendly team atmosphere with flexible working hours.
Supportive in-house training.
Opportunities to learn new skills and grow in the role.
Free staff parking (on-site).
Staff discounts and other benefits.
How to Apply:
