Summary

Food Service Assistant (Brand New Store Opening)

Location: Warwick

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 12 or 20 hours per week

We’re opening an exciting brand-new concept store this August, and we’re looking for Food Service Assistants to join our opening team. This new store will combine convenience retail with a fresh food-to-go offer, including a deli-style counter and in-store kitchen—giving you the chance to be part of something new from the very beginning.

Why this role is different:

You’ll be part of the founding team, helping to set up the store, learn the new offer, and deliver a great experience for customers from day one.

What you’ll be doing:

- Preparing and cooking food such as pastries, hot food, and deli items

- Serving customers at the food counter and on the shop floor

- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety

- Ensuring products are fresh, well-presented, and available throughout the day

- Supporting with stock replenishment, deliveries, and general store duties

- Providing excellent customer service at all times

What you’ll get in return:

- The chance to be part of a brand-new store opening

- Generous colleague discount across Food Stores and Funeral

- Pension scheme with 3.3% employer contributions

- 30 days holiday entitlement that increases with service

- Structured training and development programmes

- Career progression opportunities (including pathways to Team Leader and beyond)

- A supportive team environment where your contribution is recognised

- Access to colleague wellbeing support

This store is due to open in early August 2026. Successful candidates will be required to be available for training and induction during June and July 2026, supporting the store setup and launch.

If you enjoy working with food and people and want to be part of something new, we’d love to hear from you.
