| SHOP and POST OFFICE ASSISTANT |
Salary: £10.90 per hour salaried post depending on hours agreed
Hours: 20 hours per week – other hours would be considered
Location: The Lido, 43 Shore Road, Innellan
Reporting to: Shop Manager
South Cowal Community Enterprises Ltd (SCCE) owns The Lido shop and Post Office in Innellan. We run it on behalf of the South Cowal Community who are our members.
We need a Shop and Post Office Assistant to join our team of managers and shop assistants. The post is responsible to the Shop Manager.
The post is for 20 hours, but as we are restructuring we have the opportunity to fit hours to the right candidate or candidates, so encourage applications that offer more, or less hours.
We are moving to open winter hours and summer hours, therefore there may be more hours on offer in the summer. We are looking for flexible, forward looking staff as we develop our services
Hours are allocated on a team basis to cover early opening, late shutting and weekends. Mostly you will be working at the same time every week. It involves opening up and closing the shop and Post Office so needs accuracy and numeracy.
We hope to recruit someone who is trained in Epos systems, IT and Post Office. Full training will be provided if not. A Criminal Record check will be required.
