Oliver Hayward

I applied for this role when the cafe that I was working at had to close due to funding issues. This was a seasonal temporary role which ended in January. I am currently top of the list should I wish to return once the store picks up, however I am looking for a more permanent role.

My main responsibilities within this role were as follows:

• Restocking the shelves to ensure immediate product availability.
• Serving customers at the till and helping with their enquiries within the store
• De branding and reducing prices on the stock and calculating the percentage decrease
• Working in the warehouse

I initially gained this role as a voluntary role as part of my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award, however I was asked to stay and was awarded a certificate for Volunteering by Wrexham Council, having been nominated by the Operations Manager. My main duties in this role were as follows:

• Taking customer orders and delivering and clearing away dishes
• Operating the dishwasher and ensuring that my workspace was a clean and tidy and hygienic environment.
• Some experience of using the till
• Working well as part of a team and helping out with some of the food preparation tasks

YaB was a charity funded initiative which unfortunately closed down in September 2024 due to funding issues, hence my leaving this role.
