Join Our Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant This Christmas!

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread some seasonal cheer as one of our Trading Assistants in our night shift team. From stocking shelves to date checking products to helping unload deliveries, you’ll support across the store to make sure it’s ready to deliver festive magic for our customers. There’s no better time to join our team and be part of the festive season excitement.

It's a fast-paced role so you will need to be comfortable being active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, as well as being confident working with new technology. While you will be part of a close-knit team, we’ll also trust you to work alone and use your initiative as you will be working throughout the night.

Whichever area you’re working in, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and have a keen attention to detail. You’ll likely have less customer interaction than your daytime colleagues, but you’ll still be tuned into making sure we offer a brilliant shopping experience.

We aim to make everyone who joins us the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work!

Note: While many of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, there may also be permanent opportunities available. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If the shifts for this role cover hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you will need to be at least 18 years of age.

Note: Sainsbury's will only recruit individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age. To find out the school leavers age for your country, please visit:
