Join Our Festive Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant

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: Many of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, but there may also be permanent opportunities available. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role is suitable for you.

Eligibility: If the shifts for this role include hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.

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

Alongside a market-leading salary, we offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues:

• Nightshift premium - in addition to the hourly rate, a further £2.45 nightshift premium is paid for every hour worked between midnight - 5am (where applicable).
• Discount card – 10% discount at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday, and 15% at Argos every pay day.
• Free food and hot drinks provided for colleagues in all our stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts – special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave – including maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension scheme – Sainsbury’s will match between 4-7% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes – buy shares at discounted prices and purchase shares monthly from your gross salary to build investment.
• Wellbeing support – including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential support and guidance on various issues.
