Sales Assistant – WHSmith

Contract Type: Permanent

Working hours: 4-hour contract to include weekends (both days if necessary) with the possibility of overtime during the week. MUST BE FLEXIBLE WITH HOURS.

WH Smith has a remarkable heritage and has occupied a place as the Hub of the High Street and in our customers’ hearts for 230 years. Our stores work hard to make customer and colleague journeys in life possible—marking milestones with cards and gifts, providing escape and education with our books, and offering communication and currency services in our Post Office Stores.

As a Sales Assistant, you’ll provide exceptional customer service and work independently or as part of a team to uphold our store standards. We want you, our customers, and our colleagues to be proud to start and share their journeys with us—whether it’s their first job, their first day at school, or their first birthday.

What being a Sales Assistant involves:

1. Delivering exceptional customer service to all customers
2. Carrying out stock replenishment and ensuring all areas of the store are tidy and inviting
3. Maintaining high standards of display and visual merchandising to help customers find what they’re looking for easily
4. Supporting colleagues as part of a team

What we look for:

• A passion for providing customers with an exceptional in-store experience
• Confidence in communicating within the team
• Motivation to achieve excellent results and standards
• Adaptability to meet company requirements and goals

Our rewards:

We recognize your hard work in making WHSmith a success and our customers happy. Along with your salary, pension scheme, paid annual leave, and employee discounts, we offer a range of deals from retail partners to help you save money and create memories—whether it’s enjoying a meal, an adventurous day out, or tickets to the latest blockbuster.

Our Employee Assistance Programme provides support and guidance for your wellbeing—physical, mental, or financial—whatever the future holds.

WHSmith is proud to be an inclusive employer. We want our colleagues to feel welcome and free to be themselves with us.
