• Work with pace and efficiency to replenish stock and maintain product availability throughout the day.

• Support back‑of‑house activity, including delivery processing, stock organisation and replenishment.

• Adapt quickly to changing priorities during busy periods, remaining calm and positive at all times.

• Follow all health & safety, loss prevention and cash handling procedures.
