Job description

One Stop - Customer Service Assistant

We’re looking for a Customer Service Assistant to join our team at One Stop, a subsidiary of Tesco. As a Customer Service Assistant, you will work in a fast‑paced retail environment where no day is the same. You will play an important role in the day‑to‑day operations of our store activity by providing excellent customer service, stocking shelves, processing payments, and maintaining the store’s appearance.

About the role

As the customer is at the heart of everything we do, you will constantly look for ways to improve service in your store through on‑the‑job coaching and feedback, helping us remain a safe place to work and shop.

You will be responsible for

• I know my customers and serve them with passion and pride, giving great natural service.
• I actively encourage customers to give feedback on their shopping trip through completing the ‘have your say’ survey.
• I work across all areas of the store including online, the tills, replenishment, vending and stock routines to ensure tasks are completed to meet the needs of our customers.
• Putting into practice the training I have received to ensure we work safely.
• Taking part in seasonal, community and charity events, creating a great inclusive atmosphere.
• Being knowledgeable about my store’s performance, understanding the part I play and what we need to do together to deliver profit.
• Being myself, living our values, making everyone feel welcome and always following our policies.
• Ensuring I clock in and out at the start and end of my shift to ensure I am paid accurately for the hours I work.
• I keep myself, my colleagues and customers safe by following the security procedures and wearing safety equipment where available.
• I always follow the think 25 policy when serving age‑restricted products to all customers.
• Responding quickly to assistance calls or interventions on self‑service checkouts, explaining what you are doing to the customer.
• I work in a clean, tidy and organised manner keeping aisles clear of congestion.
• At certain times I may be responsible for running the shift in the absence of my Shift Leader and Store Manager.
• I ensure I follow all the training I have received in order to keep myself, others and the store safe and legal.
• If this store has a Post Office Local, your duties will include the day‑to‑day operations of the post office; therefore you will be required to undertake a Post Office Financial and criminal conviction background check, which you must pass to proceed with this role. If these checks fail, we will be forced to withdraw the job offer.

Whats in it for you?

One Stop is committed to making everyday life easier for our customers! With a strong presence in local communities, we offer a wide range of quality products at great value, alongside friendly and helpful service. As part of the Tesco Group, One Stop combines the benefits of a large organisation with the close‑knit feel of a neighbourhood store. We’re passionate about creating a welcoming environment for both our customers and our colleagues and we’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our growing team!

Flexible Working

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at One Stop, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life‑changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. Talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

One Stop Benefits

At One Stop, we value our colleagues just as much as our customers — and that’s reflected in the wide range of benefits we offer. Please find the full list of colleague benefits on our Careers Page.

As a proud subsidiary of the Tesco Group, One Stop operates as an independent business. This means that while we share the same values, the benefits we offer may differ from those available at Tesco.

Community Involvement

Being part of the community is at the heart of everything we do. We support local charities and groups, partner with national organisations, and have raised over £10.4 million for good causes and donated the equivalent of 1.6 million meals through partnerships with FareShare and Olio.

Diversity & Inclusion at One Stop

Everyone is welcome. We’re proud to be an inclusive workplace that celebrates the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our colleagues. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process, including interviews, to ensure every candidate has a fair opportunity to succeed. Our six colleague networks (Armed Forces, Disability, LGBTQ+, Families & Carers, Race & Ethnicity, and Women) foster a safe, supportive environment.
