  • Great interpersonal skills, able to effectively communicate with stakeholders at all levels
  • Commercially astute
  • A confident decision-maker
  • Driven, determined and resilient
  • Good level of literacy, numeracy and IT literacy
  • Self-aware, with commitment to continued professional and personal development
  • Perks of the job

    At the East of England Co-op, we strive to be the best place to work. We invest in our colleagues to help them to progress in their careers and achieve their full potential. How do we do this?

  • Competitive rates of pay
  • 20% discount in our food stores, along with other discounts across our family of businesses
  • 22 days holiday (plus bank holiday entitlement) which increases with service
  • 5% employer pension contribution
  • Death in service benefit
  • Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements*
  • Opportunities to grow, with award-winning training and apprenticeship programmes
  • Great discounts, deals, and cashback across over high street and online retailers
  • Financial wellbeing support, including Stream®
  • Access to Cycle To Work, Rental Deposit Scheme, and SmartTech (after a qualifying period)
  • Employee Recognition Scheme
  • Long Service Awards
  • Free remote GP service, available 24/7, including prescription, fitness, nutrition, and counselling services
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • We recognise the challenges people face trying to balance commitments both in and out of the workplace - perhaps studying, caring commitments, or other employment. We therefore aim to be as flexible as possible, to create shift patterns that work for both our co-op and our colleagues.

    * Enhanced on statutory terms, subject to service criteria.
