There may be opportunities to work across other categories including, but not limited to, Books and Entertainment, Health and Beauty.

You will be responsible for ensuring the fixtures are set up effectively, products and promotions are displayed attractively, and the shelves are well-stocked.

About the role:

This role will primarily be based within Tesco Tadcaster Road, York.

Confirmed working hours: 6 weekly, plus ad hoc work as interested and agreed!

• Expert at the Entertainer: You'll know the Entertainer brand and products inside and out, and more importantly, share that knowledge with your team!
• Compliance and Standards: You'll know and stick to the merchandising standards and guidelines, store policies and procedures, and health and safety guidance. You'll follow and implement planograms, where provided, to ensure consistency and compliance with merchandising standards.
• Product Placement and Replenishment: You'll arrange and organise products on shelves and displays to maximise visibility and appeal.
• Promotional and Point of Sale Setup: You'll set up promotional displays and signage to effectively communicate prices, discounts, and special offers.
• Strong Communication and Relationship Building: You'll build and maintain good working relationships with in-store colleagues, particularly department and store managers. You'll provide accurate and timely feedback to our client account teams, via our feedback application, as the eyes and ears in the stores!

What makes you excellent:

• Experience of, or a passion for, merchandising, retail and/or customer service.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Thrive having ownership of your own work within set time frames, using your own initiative to find solutions.
• Take pride in delivering great standards and service for our clients.
• Be comfortable with a bit of manual handling! You'll need to move and arrange our products from the warehouse to the shop floor.
• Willing to accept home deliveries of point of sale or stock items for some visits (you'll be paid extra to do so).
• Confident using a company tablet to download briefs, take photos and answer questions about your tasks.
• A full UK driving license and access to a car is a bonus!

What makes us excellent:

We are one of the UK's largest field marketing agencies, with over 20 years of experience supporting many iconic brands and retailers. We have a great reputation for delivering exceptional service to ensure our customers succeed in retail.

People are our business, so we work hard to ensure they are supported, rewarded, and valued. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader and a fully inclusive employer.

On top of that, we offer:

• Flexible holiday and pay.
• Immediate access for you and your family to GroceryAid.
• Access to eXPD8 Rewards where we offer regular competitions and incentive plans.
• Access to PAYM8, allowing you to access your wage before your payday.
• Unlimited refer a friend scheme.
• Full induction and training provided with access to over 400 learning resources.
