Careers with The Southern Co-operative
Welcome to our careers page. As you can see our site is currently under development and we aim, in the future, to include details of our current vacancies.
In the meantime, we’ve included a little taste of what we are all about at The Southern Co-operative:
Food Retail:
We have over 120 community stores across the South of England in Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire – visit our store finder to find the nearest one to you.
Our customers rely on our stores for everything from a pint of milk to tonight’s evening meal. The role of our store teams is to make sure they receive excellent customer service at all times.
Opportunities regularly exist for Store Management (Managers and Deputies), Team Leaders and Customer Service Assistants. We also employ dedicated staff for our 20+ in store Post Office services.
If you are interested in becoming a Team Leader or Customer Service Assistant please pop into one of our stores near to you and see if they have any current opportunities. You can pick up an application form from the store and return it back to the Store Manager.
End of Life Services:
Our End of Life Services play an important role in local communities and incorporate our funerals, floristry, limousine and masonry businesses. We have over 30 branches in the region.
The provision of a personalised, meaningful funeral service is supported by the highest standard of customer care, products, dress code, premises and fleet of funeral vehicles. We also take our caring approach one step further by employing dedicated Care Liaison Officers who offer support for those suffering bereavement.
Opportunities do occur for the following roles as we expand our business: funeral directors, funeral co-ordinators, funeral assistants and florists.

Our offices in Fareham provide support to our businesses including IT, Finance, HR, Category and Trading, Facilities, Operations, Marketing, Community Relations, Business Development, Property, Protection and Auditing.
