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

Be our magic ingredient this festive season and spread cheer as a Trading Assistant in our night shift team. Your responsibilities will include stocking shelves, date checking products, and helping unload deliveries to ensure the store is festive-ready for our customers. This is a great opportunity to be part of the seasonal excitement.

This fast-paced role requires you to be active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, and confident working with new technology. While you'll be part of a close-knit team, you'll also work independently using your initiative, as your shifts will be throughout the night.

In any area you work, you'll take pride in doing right by our customers and paying attention to detail. Although there may be less customer interaction than daytime roles, you'll still focus on providing a great shopping experience.

We aim to help everyone be their best and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our colleagues enjoy working and our customers love shopping.

Note: Many roles are temporary over the festive period, but permanent opportunities may also be available. Please check the contract type and hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If your shifts include hours before 6am or after 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.
