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 & contracted staff to support co-op members on the shop floor. Casual & contracted workers are paid 80% of co-op members’ hourly rate, or the Living Wage Foundation’s ‘Real Living Wage‘, whichever is higher.
We are not currently recruiting for co-operative members. However we are seeking casual workers. The current rate of pay is £12.80 per hour. 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
As an integral part of our commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse work environment, Unicorn strongly encourages applications from all potential candidates regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, age, sex, ability or gender identity. We recognise the many benefits of a diverse workforce and put inclusivity at the core of our values as a business.
