The South West Convenience Retail Group!
Now Hiring Festive Customer Assistants!
The South West Convenience Retail Group!
We're Codes Convenience - a group of local convenience stores within the South West of England! We're rapidly expanding and need new team members to join our Retail and Store Management Teams to ensure our new store openings are a success, alongside hiring for any roles that open in our current stores!
We aim for all of our Store Managers and Central Support Team vacancies to be hired internally (excluding specialist roles), so it's rare that you'll find a Store Manager or Central Support Team vacancy advertised.
However, we regularly recruit Customer Assistants and occasionally recruit for Shift Leaders across our stores.
We're rapidly expanding - the CC Group has more than doubled our store count in 2025, increasing from 6 to 13 stores (due to an acquisition of Whitby Bay Retail).
We have extremely competitive hourly rates for all our roles! We're proud to pay all staff the Real Living Wage and to pay staff based on the role they have with us, regardless of age. We also regularly benchmark our hourly rates against the top UK retail brands and aim to exceed or match them.
We have fantastic opportunities to grow and develop within the business - we're constantly expanding and 75% of our current Codes Convenience Store Managers joined us as Shift Leaders or Customer Assistants. Codes Convenience has recently launched a brand new Store Manager Training Programme that is open to internal applicants to help Shift Leaders take the leap into a Store Manager role.
Codes Convenience is proud to be equal opportunities employers. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and walks of life. If you need any reasonable adjustments to apply for any of our roles, please reach out to our Store Recruitment Team.
After you send us your application, a member of our Store Recruitment team will review your application/CV.
We'll then invite you to complete an Online Skills Assessment which is a short questionnaire to assess your suitability for the role.
A member of our Store Recruitment Team will then be in touch to inform you of the outcome of your application if unsuccessful at this stage.
For our Customer Assistant and Shift Leader roles, following a successful review of your Application and Online Skills Assessment, you'll be invited to schedule an interview with the Store Manager. We provide all candidates with an Interview Preparation Guide to help you prepare for the interview.
Under our Guaranteed Interview Feedback Policy, all candidates that attend an interview with us will be provided with the option of receiving individual feedback regarding their interview if unsuccessful with us. This will include personalised feedback about your interview performance.
If there are multiple candidates that we believe would be a good fit for our team but only have 1 role available, candidates will be added to our Candidate Hold Pool if they wish to be. We will then contact candidates in the Hold Pool when a vacancy opens up in a store that matches their requirements.
Our Customer Assistants get stuck in with a variety of in-store tasks, from serving customers, filling our shelves, picking online orders and lots more. Our Customer Assistants provide amazing customer service to our customers, helping them with any questions they have and ensuring an excellent shopping trip.
