Morning Assistant (Mon-Fri) vacancy

We are now recruiting for a part-time Morning Assistant / Facilities Supervisor to join our team.  This is a paid position and an opportunity for someone who is available for 2 hours at the start of their day to open up the shop and prepare for the day’s trading, ready for handing over to the Manager and the first volunteer.  Additional hours worked on facilities management will be paid on a timesheet basis, as the work can be carried out at times to suit the successful candidate and hours will vary.

Responsibilities include:

  • Readying the shop for trading, setting up the till and opening by 8am
  • Serving customers in a polite, friendly manner
  • Arranging daily newspapers and magazines, and bakery deliveries
  • Dealing with any other deliveries and supplier queries
  • Help develop our social media presence and updating copy at the website
  • Maintaining visual displays and providing a clean, welcoming and tidy environment
  • Working with the shop Manager to oversee maintenance, repairs and refurbishment of the shop and Post Office building, although it is likely that this workload will fluctuate depending on the work we need to be carried out

Hours of work:  7.15am to 9.15am Monday to Friday (so this will suit an early morning person) and additional hours as agreed with the Shop Manager

Rate of pay: £13 per hour

Start date: November 2026

Please note that the role involves some heavy lifting (newspapers in particular) so applicants will need to be physically fit.

Whilst we are ideally looking for one candidate, we will also consider two people job sharing but it is important that every shift is covered.

To apply and/or request a copy of the full job description, please e-mail your CV to the shop manager at manager@limpsfieldstores.co.uk
