Job description

Overview

Help our customers holidays get off to a fantastic start, as one of our trusted Travel Money Advisors. Offering great service in one of our in-store Travel Money bureaus, you’ll be part of our Winning Team - where you can really be the difference. You’ll be the face of Travel Money for Sainsbury's Bank, and that means you’ll need to be confident at building up good relationships with our customers and giving them the friendly service that keeps them coming back to us. You’ll focus on the important task of handling currency, so good attention to detail is essential. There’ll be a close-knit supportive team around you, but you’ll be running the bureau on your own most of the time, so you’ll need to be confident in making decisions too.

Ideally, you’ll have a background in finance or cash handling but if not, the great news is that previous experience isn’t essential, as we provide all the training you need. What’s important is that you love helping people, you have a good eye for detail and you’re comfortable working with large amounts of money and figures. Alongside a market leading rate of pay, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues.

Responsibilities

• Handle currency accurately with strong attention to detail. • Build and maintain positive relationships with customers and provide friendly service. • Run the Travel Money bureau on your own most of the time, including decision-making in day-to-day operations. • Contribute to a supportive team environment with the broader branch. • Follow DBS and credit check requirements due to the nature of the role.

Qualifications

• Background in finance or cash handling is preferred but not essential. • Prior experience is not required as comprehensive training is provided. • You love helping people, have a good eye for detail, and are comfortable working with large amounts of money and figures.

Benefits

• Discount card – provided after 4 weeks that gives you 10% on most items in Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat. Discount is increased at Sainsbury’s to 15% every pay day for five days plus 15% at Argos on selected weekends during the year.
• Generous holiday entitlement - based on the hours you work.
• Family leave – generous maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – Sainsbury’s will match between 4-7% of your pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes – allowing you to save directly from your pay to buy Sainsbury’s shares at discounted prices and the option to buy shares each time you are paid to build up an investment.
• Wellbeing support – including free access to Unmind (a mental wellbeing app) and our Employee Assistance Programme which is a confidential service providing emotional support, practical information and guidance on a wide range of topics, such as legal information, financial information and short-term counselling.
• Colleague networks – a range of internal networks that create an environment where every single colleague can be themselves and fulfil their potential.
• Cycle to work scheme – hire a bike and accessories, saving on tax and national insurance.
• Shopping discounts – special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.

There’s also a range of shift patterns available; as long as you’re flexible fitting in with the rest of the team to cover a mixture of early, late and weekend shifts, you’ll find something that works for you.

Due to the nature of this role any successful candidates will need to give permission for a DBS and credit check.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer that champions a diverse and inclusive culture that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. As part of the wider Sainsbury’s Group, being one of the UK’s most trusted brands, we offer opportunities to fulfil your potential and be part of something bigger with the customer at the heart of everything we do.
