Brent Knoll community shop seeks new part-time manager to run the facilities
Brent Knoll’s community shop, which opened within 10 days of the first national lockdown, is seeking to appoint a paid manager.
Created as a community venture, Brent Knoll Community Shop opened in April in response to the closure of the village shop and Post Office and the announcement of Covid lockdown in March.
Since then, the shop has been run by a small steering group with 20 volunteers and it provides essential products and services to the village’s residents.
With plans to extend its opening hours, which are currently 8.30am-noon every day, and expand its product range, the shop is now seeking to recruit its first paid employee, a part-time manager.
