About This Opportunity

The Place, the quick service restaurant and hospitality business, is recruiting a Storekeeper Trainee for its Alausa operation in Ikeja, Lagos. This is a below-degree opening built for school leavers and diploma holders: the minimum qualification is the SSCE and the maximum is the OND, so it is a genuine entry point into storekeeping and supply work rather than a graduate role in disguise. The storekeeper is the person who keeps a busy restaurant’s store honest — receiving goods as they arrive, dating and storing them properly, rotating stock so older items are used first, and issuing products, equipment and uniforms to the units that requisition them. In a food business, that discipline protects quality and prevents waste, which is why the company wants someone organised, punctual and professional. The role is full-time and is advertised on the company’s official recruitment board. Because you must live in Alausa, it suits candidates already based around Ikeja who want steady store work close to home.

Key Responsibilities

The Storekeeper Trainee is primarily responsible for the receiving, storage and issue of goods for the operation. The duties in the advert are:

• Receive goods delivered to the store and check them in as they arrive.
• Date all incoming stock so that age and rotation can be tracked accurately.
• Store goods properly and maintain rotation, so that older stock is used before newer stock.
• Pull requisitions raised by units and prepare the items requested.
• Decant and palletise products as required for storage and movement.
• Retrieve products, equipment and uniforms from the store when they are needed.
• Deliver issued items to the units that requisitioned them.
• Keep the store organised so that stock can be found, counted and issued without delay.

Requirements And Qualifications

As stated in the advert on the company’s official recruitment board:

• Minimum of SSCE.
• Maximum of OND. This is a below-degree role, and the qualification band is SSCE to OND.
• You must be organised and punctual.
• You must be well-presented and professional.
• Prior experience in retail, preferably in a store management position, would be an advantage — it is not stated as compulsory.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
• You must be a resident of Alausa, Ikeja.
• Candidates who do not meet the criteria above need not apply.
