Stockport, United Kingdom Simply Books Full time

Simply Books is an award-winning independent bookshop based in the heart of Bramhall, just south of Manchester. As a hub of the community for over 20 years, we are lucky to have a very engaged and passionate customer base who love what we do.

Recently, new owners have taken over the shop and are in the process of putting their own stamp on things. This role, as with all of the others we’re hiring for as part of our founding team, will be a big part of how we shape the business’ next 20 years and beyond.

We are looking for creative and hard working baristas to join our café team. Our customers are really keen for the café to reopen, with it being the thing most requested since we took over, so we’re keen to get this right and make it an integral part of Simply Books.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Welcome and take orders from customers both at the counter and at tables
- Prepare and serve a variety of drinks and food with attention to quality and presentation
- Handle payments efficiently and accurately
- Maintain cleanliness and high standards of hygiene in all areas of the café, helping to ensure compliance with food hygiene regulations
- Help to manage stock levels and assist in restocking
- Complete opening up and closing down procedures
- Contribute to the development of menu items and promotional offers
- Foster strong relationships with customers, enhancing their experience
- Process and fulfil orders received online or via phone
- Prepare drinks and snacks at book club gatherings and other regular events
- Assist in staffing special events, both in-store and at external venues, assisting with a variety of tasks from checking guests in to serving drinks
- Occasionally provide cover in the bookshop, assisting on the till and with customers
- Helping with other ad hoc tasks and special projects alongside the owners

**Person Description**

We hire a little differently. For us, the right person outweighs qualifications and experience every time, so we don’t have people descriptions for our roles or minimum experience requirements and the like (not even secretly).

Instead, we have core traits/behaviours that are a good indicator of being a fit for our team across all roles:

- You're a book lover
- You're a great communicator, both written and verbal, who can get on well with people from all walks of life
- You’re driven, always wanting to improve and help the business succeed
- You’re kind and friendly, with a good sense of humour
- You're a self-starter who can use your own initiative
- But you can also work well with teammates
- You have great attention to detail
- You're flexible and versatile
- You have a creative flair
- You're comfortable taking direction and listening to advice from others
- You're a quick learner
- You're not precious about getting your hands dirty and pitching in to help in any area of the business
- You're professional in your attitude at work
- You work well under pressure
- You're comfortable using technology

There's a lot to the role, but we've deliberately kept the descriptions fairly short and sweet. To summarise further, all we are looking for is someone that fits into our team seamlessly and is willing to get stuck in with whatever our growing business requires
- we can help get you up to speed with the rest.

**Benefits**:

- Competitive compensation package
- 28 days annual leave (pro-rated for part-time team members), including flexible bank holidays meaning you can use those days elsewhere if you would prefer
- 40% off everything in the shop
- including books
- Free hot and soft drinks from our café
- 24/7 employee wellbeing helpline, including counselling and financial advice
- Company pension contributions (for eligible team members)
- Access to early proofs, exclusive content, and more
- Opportunity to attend industry events
- Regular team socials

**Job Types**: Full-time, Part-time, Permanent

Pay: Up to £14.00 per hour

Expected hours: 4 - 40 per week

Work Location: In person
