Job description

 

ABOUT NATOORA

We are a fast-growing company with a clear mission: to revolutionise the food system.

Suppliers to over 1,500 of the most influential restaurants in London, Paris, New York, Copenhagen and Melbourne, we are equally determined to educate the general public on the impact of their food choices. Everything in our four central London stores is radically seasonal and fully traceable.

Educating the customer is central to our food system revolution, and flavour is the greatest conduit for change. Through fruit and vegetable tastings we can encourage home cooks to diversify their diets, eat seasonally and make more informed food choices.

 

ABOUT THE JOB

There are thousands of food businesses out there. Joining Natoora means that you’re looking to be part of something bigger. As Shop Sales Assistant, you’ll be the face of a dynamic, committed movement that is driving real change in the food system.

You will be responsible for displaying and caring for some of the best-tasting produce available in the UK, engaging with our customers throughout the day. You’ll be able to advise on seasonal produce and will go above and beyond to ensure that we are always delivering a truly great service.

Through our training programme, we’ll equip you with the tools and knowledge to help develop your professional growth, with training modules covering Leadership, Product, Customer Service and Store Operations.

You’ll learn where, how and by whom our food is grown, and how every decision - from seed selection to growing method to serving suggestion - can impact on the planet. Everyone has a part to play in creating a better food system. This is your chance.

 

Key Responsibilities

• You will look after our customers and provide the best client service
• You will help people engage with unfamiliar produce
