The table shows the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work: the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for our colleagues, therefore if the times you are available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we would still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

• Taking part in seasonal, community and charity events, creating a great inclusive atmosphere.
• Being knowledgeable about your stores performance, understanding the part you play and what we need to do together to drive service and sales, reduce waste and shrink and deliver profit.
