Senior Store Assistant in Huddersfield

25 hours per week

We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store.

Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes.

At Toolstation, we're not just looking for what you can bring to us today - we're focused on helping you grow with us. Many of our managers started out on the shop floor and now run their own stores or oversee operations.

You'll be the friendly face of Toolstation, helping customers find what they need, but you'll also be hands-on with deliveries, warehouse tasks, and stocking shelves. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves! It can get hot in summer and chilly in winter, but if you care about doing a good job and providing great customer service, you'll fit right in.

This position involves supporting colleagues to deliver a great customer experience. Retail experience is not essential, but some experience as a key holder or supervising team members is preferred.

Provide outstanding service

Ask the right questions

Be Proactive

• Reliability: Be dependable and flexible, committed to supporting customers and team members.
• Accountability: Take charge when needed and step up in leadership roles.
• Your best self: Bring energy, enthusiasm, and let your personality shine.
