About Us

We’re Get Loose, a small but mighty organic grocery shop based at Hackney City Farm. We’re passionate about a sustainable, climate and people-friendly food system. Our mission is not just to sell great food, but to create a welcoming space that brings the local community together.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Placing and managing orders with our suppliers using Excel

  • Taking care of daily tasks like restocking, cleaning, and keeping the shop looking lovely

  • Overseeing and supporting employees on shift

Who We’re Looking For Someone who:

  • Is passionate about sustainability and low-waste living

  • Enjoys creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers

  • Has some experience managing people or supporting a team

  • Is confident using Excel (basic to intermediate level) — we use it regularly for ordering and stock management

  • Is happy to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into the daily tasks of running a small, values-driven shop

Important Notes

  • Due to limited resources and to improve the quality of training for the role, we encourage applicants to apply as soon as possible — we may begin interviewing and even make an early offer before the official deadline.

  • If you’re enthusiastic about the role and available to start before 25th June, let us know — we’d love to hear from you.

  • The role includes two shifts during the week and one weekend shift, three out of five weekends. So you would have two free weekends out of every five weekends.
