We’re a co-operative, which means that we are run by our members for the benefit of the local communities that we serve.

Scotmid food’s aim is to be Scotland’s preferred community convenience retailer and a key factor in achieving this is through our people.

As Customer Service Assistant your priority is making sure our customers have a great experience every time they visit the store, through friendly service, great product availability and first-class hygiene standards.

You may be required to prepare and serve various products which could include raw and cooked meat, alcohol, and foods containing allergens.

If you have enthusiasm, a passion for customer service, and excellent communication skills we would love to hear from you.

Training will be provided but experience in a sales or retail environment would be an advantage, as would previous knowledge of food safety practices.
