The Pyramid at Anderston is looking for a Manager for its community Shop. The Shop launched in September 2022, and it has become firmly established as a community resource, particularly supporting local people affected by food poverty and/or the cost of living crisis. Its main aim is to supply good affordable food to the community. It aims to save food waste by redistributing around a tonne of surplus food each week, supplied via FareShare and other food businesses.

The Shop works closely with The Pyramid Kitchen, to ensure that other Pyramid projects, such as our Holiday Club (part of Glasgow City Council’s Children’s Holiday Programme) and Community Meal, are supported. The Kitchen also processes Shop stock, including producing ready meals and portioning and re-packing food.

The Shop Manager is part of the wider Pyramid team, reporting to the Chief Officer and working closely with the Head of Operations. There are two complementary Shop Manager positions, working closely with each other; one Shop Manager is already in post.

The Shop Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Shop, including ensuring the Shop always operates in line with the statutory requirements of a food business, and managing Shop Volunteers.

This role is physically demanding and will require the post holder to undertake regular manual handling, including lifting, carrying, unloading, and moving of food products.
