Retail Duty Manager (Twlights)
£27,396 Grade 6.3
35 hours per week
34 days’ annual leave (full-time equivalent).
We are seeking someone who will be responsible for effectively managing our main Coop Store (named Coop Union Plaza) on Canterbury Campus, having oversight over all operational areas of the store. The store is open 7 days a week, usually from 7am until midnight, providing everyday essentials you would find in any Coop store, primarily to students and university staff, but also to the wider community. We run two Coop stores on Canterbury campus as ‘franchise’ stores – this means we work in partnership with the Cooperative Group, using their brand, goods, and systems, but all of our staff are employed by Kent Students’ Union Trading Ltd, and all profits go back into Kent Students’ Union.
The successful candidate will be responsible for driving consistency in all aspects of operations and will be tasked with working a combination of daytime, evening and weekend shifts. You would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the store and execution of Coop store processes and routines, ensuring we drive sales through great availability, customer service and store standards, as well as delivering excellent profitability through effective control of costs. You would be responsible for staff development and management, managing a team primarily comprised of student staff, and some career staff. You would also be responsible for ensuring that our stores remain safe and secure for all customers and staff.
The post holder’s principal place of work will be the Coop Union Plaza; however, from time to time, may be required to work in the Coop Park Wood, our other store on campus.
