Butchery Manager/GM in Paisley

Butchery Manager
West of Scotland | On-site £40,000–£48,000 per year, depending on experience Working hours and rota to be confirmed About the role
I'm working with an award-winning food business to find a butcher who enjoys running a shop as much as working on the block. You'll run the shop day to day and lead by example. That means working alongside the butchery team, keeping the counter ready for trade and making sure customers get good advice on what to buy and how to cook it. Lead and train the team, organise rotas and plan the day's cutting and preparation around demand.
Bone, trim and portion meat for the counter and prepare special orders for customers.
Manage ordering, stock levels and rotation. Keep track of sales, margins, yield and waste.
Keep the counter well stocked and well presented. Use customer feedback and sales to help shape the range.
Make sure food safety, hygiene and traceability checks are carried out and recorded.
About you
You're a skilled butcher with experience leading a retail butchery shop, counter or department. If you're already running a butchery counter and leading a team, this is a step up into running the whole shop, with responsibility for the team, the range and how the shop trades. Strong practical knife skills and confidence in preparing beef, lamb and pork for retail.
Experience organising and coaching a team while keeping service moving during busy trading periods.
A good grasp of how ordering, stock control, yield and waste affect the shop's margin.
Sound knowledge of food safety, hygiene and traceability in a butchery environment.
Confidence in serving customers and advising them on cuts, quantities and cooking.
