Overview
At Co-op, we do things a different way. For over 175 years we've focused on making things fairer for our members and their communities, and as a colleague we promise to take care of you. You'll get support for your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing, as well as market leading policies to help you through life events from bereavement and pregnancy loss to fertility treatment and menopause.
What you'll do
* Friendly and thoughtful service - you'll put customers first in everything you do: responding to queries, championing Co-op products and Membership, working in our in-store bakery and doing all you can to deliver a great shopping experience
* Work together to make everyone's day better - supporting your store colleagues to solve problems for customers and members
* Make sure the store safe and legal - keep the shelves stocked and make sure prices, dates, and temperatures are all as they should be

* As a Customer Team Member, you'll be part of a friendly team that's dedicated to helping our customers. You'll provide great service on the tills and the shop floor, while also performing a wide range of other tasks around the store like re-stocking shelves and cleaning up spillages. This isn't your standard food retail job, and no two days will be the same. The one thing that won't change is your dedication to providing great service to our customers and members. Our stores are a strong part of the local community and we're proud to give back to them. So not only will you be helping customers find what they need, making sure the store looks good, and introducing them to our membership scheme, you'll be building relationships and getting to know who shops with us every day.
Our culture
Smiling while you work is easy when you see the difference you make each day. Our past, present and future is all about making a positive impact on our communities - and our store teams have the additional pride of making this possible. The conversations you have with our customers and members help us bring attention to local charities and causes. You may even serve the people directly affected. Which fills us all with a greater sense of purpose.
