Legates' is a 5th generation family business in operation since 1850. This is an opportunity to join one of London's most prestigious butchers shops and be a vital part of the business as we continue to grow. This is a senior position, and as such we are looking for an experienced candidate with 10 plus years of experience in a Butchery Management role or a candidate ready to take the next step into management.
This is an opportunity to use skills and experience to build and lead a team. You will be a "hands-on" leader able to motivate and train staff to the highest standards - this is not a "desk job". You will have a passion for the art of Butchery and a flair for developing new products then displaying and selling them. As Butchery Manager, you will be the intermediary between the shop floor team and the company directors, who you will work closely with to set the tone of the store and to reach sales targets.
Candidates will need to show experience in:
liaising with and supporting department supervisors
building and leading teams of butchers and assistants of all genders, races and backgrounds.
day to day butchering
training new and existing staff as needed.
daily operations including stock ordering, stock taking, staff rotas etc
overseeing back of shop production and organisation
overseeing front of house customer service, displays and sales.
managing new projects
using initiative to make decisions and solve any issues that arise.
We offer the option of taking eternal advanced training and development. The successful candidate should have a Level 4 Award in Managing Food Safety. If not, they will be expected to undergo study once a probationary period is passed.
