Shop Keeper

Job Description

The position involves working independently, with one staff member responsible for running the shop during each shift. Daily duties mainly include serving customers and processing sales at the cash register, handling cash and giving change, restocking shelves, arranging goods, general cleaning and basic record keeping. Accommodation is available for staff who would prefer to stay near the shop. Options include single-employee accommodation or shared bunk-style accommodation at a lower rental cost. Staying on-site is not compulsory, but it is encouraged as it makes managing the early morning shift and opening the shop on time more convenient.

Morning Shift: 5:30 AM – 2:00 PM

Afternoon Shift: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM (includes closing the shop and locking up for the night).
