Casual work at Unicorn involves tasks such as packing dried foodstuffs in our production area, serving customers at the till and re-filling shelves on the shop floor, as well as some cleaning tasks at the end of the day. Some of the work is fairly repetitive, and involves some heavy lifting.
It is suitable for people looking for some flexibility in when they work, and who may have commitments elsewhere. It is not suitable for people needing regular, guaranteed hours, as shifts are not guaranteed.
Casual workers are paid 80% of co-op members’ hourly rate, or the Living Wage Foundation’s ‘Real Living Wage‘, whichever is higher. Currently we pay casuals £13.20/hour.
Unfortunately we are only able to offer casual employment for a maximum of 12 months. During this time, we are under no obligation to offer shifts, and you’re not obliged to accept shifts offered.
We accept applications for casual work on a rolling basis – you can apply any time. Have a look at our application pack and see if it might suit you. Completed applications can be sent to recruitment@unicorn-grocery.coop.
