About The Role

We are looking for a Trading Supervisor who thrives in a friendly team environment, embraces change, and is eager to develop our catering and retail operations at Castle Espie Wetland Centre.

Working closely with the Trading Manager, you will:

  • Motivate our team to provide a warm welcome to all our visitors sharing the wonder of wetlands and how to make the most of their visit.
  • Promote and maximise sales opportunities and develop our retail range.
  • Ensure that the admissions, retail, and catering areas, operate smoothly and fully adhere to and comply with all legislative standards, in particular Industry Food Hygiene standards.
  • Ensure that functions and special events are delivered to a high standard.

This is a great opportunity to work surrounded by nature within a predominantly daytime operation. Castle Espie is just a short drive from Comber and easily commutable from Newtownards, Belfast and Bangor.

This is a full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week on a rota basis. Working 5 days out of 7, including some weekends and bank holidays. Typically daytime shifts although, you may be required to work the occasional evening for a special event or function.

About You

To join us as Trading Supervisor, you will bring:

  • experience of working in a commercial environment with good knowledge of local products
  • a provable passion for customer service
  • the ability to balance supervising the team and supporting on the shop floor
Based primarily in our retail and admissions space, you will also have the knowledge and flexibility to work within, and if required supervise our catering operation.
 
If this sounds like you then click apply, we would love to hear from you.
