Unicorn is owned and managed by its 50 or so co-op members. We work with a relatively flat management structure and all members are ‘managers’ of the business, taking on equal responsibility for the running of the business as well as staffing the shop floor.
In addition, we also employ a small pool of casual staff to support co-op members on the shop floor. Casual workers are paid 80% of co-op members’ hourly rate, or the Living Wage Foundation’s ‘Real Living Wage‘, whichever is higher. It’s currently set at £12.80/hour.
We accept applications for casual work on a rolling basis – you can apply any time. Casual work at Unicorn involves tasks like packing dried foodstuffs in our production area, working on the till, and re-filling shelves. It is suitable for people looking for some flexibility in when they work, and who may have commitments elsewhere. It is not suitable for people needing regular, guaranteed hours, as shifts are not guaranteed. Have a look at our application pack and see if it might suit you. Completed applications can be sent to recruitment@unicorn-grocery.coop
We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the community we serve, creating a culture of belonging and providing equal employment opportunity. We strongly encourage applications from all potential candidates regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, age, sex, ability, neurotype or gender identity.
