Job description

Job Title: Trading Assistant (Night Shift)

Join us this festive season as a Trading Assistant in our night shift team. Your role will include stocking shelves, date checking products, and unloading deliveries to ensure our store is ready for customers and festive magic.

This fast-paced role requires you to be active, including lifting heavy shopping containers, and confident with new technology. You will work both independently and as part of a close-knit team, primarily during night shifts.

We are committed to inclusivity and supporting our colleagues to be their best. Many roles are temporary over the festive period, with potential for permanent opportunities. Please check the contract type and hours before applying.

Applicants for shifts before 6am or after 11pm must be at least 18 years old. Sainsbury's recruits only those who have passed the school leaver’s age. For details, please visit our website.

Benefits include:

• Nightshift premium of £2.45 per hour for hours between midnight and 5am.
• 10% shopping discount after four weeks, increasing to 15% on Fridays and Saturdays at Sainsbury’s, and on pay days at Argos.
• Free food and drinks in stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, and vouchers.
• Family leave including maternity and paternity leave.
• Matching pension contributions between 4-7%.
