What You’ll Do

Your main priority will be to support the shop manager in the successful operations of running the bakery shop and everything that this entails, including:

• Leading by example and encouraging your team to achieve sales targets whilst providing our customers with excellent customer service and a great shopping experience every time, so they will keep coming back!
• Assisting the manager to manage the shop team, including staff reviews, monitoring and maximising performance
• Working closely with the shop manager to recognise potential ‘talent’ in your team and discussing their progression with them and the manager, and supporting their development
• Completing compliance tasks to ensure that the shop is running diligently
• Mucking in – all our managers are hands on, when they’re not completing paperwork or cooking, they’re jumping on the till and helping their team with the lunch-time rush or grabbing a brush and sweeping the floor, whilst delegating tasks amongst the team
• Morning, afternoon and late afternoon shifts are shared amongst management on a rota basis. Our morning shifts mean setting up our award winning bakery goods within our display cabinets, putting away deliveries, counting stock and preparing salad, while our late afternoon shifts include cleaning and stock counting
• Our managers handle cash every day and order the shop’s stock to ensure optimum availability for our customers

So it's a busy hands on, people and customer focused role!

About us

Stephens Bakery is a 4th generation family business that is over 150 years in the baking but don’t let that fool you into thinking we’re stuck in the past! We are a company that has never shied away from innovation - we were the first bakery to partner with convenience stores, the first to mobilise a bakery Jiffy Van and the first to open a stand-alone bakery drive-thru. We now have 15 retail shops and numerous convenience partnerships with Coop, Scotmid, Morrisons and Independent retailers.

When we’re not creating new ways to serve our customers, we’re staying true to our craft by using traditional baking methods and sourcing the finest local ingredients. With us, the proof is in the pudding, and this is why we won Scottish Craft Bakery of the Year, UK Craft Bakery Business of the Year and we are home to Scotland’s favourite Morning Roll, Steak Bridie and Double-Biscuit.
