We're now looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and customer-focused Sales Assitto join our branch team on a 16 hour per week contract. We are looking for somebody who is willing to be flexible with these hours. Specific hours will be discussed at interview stage.

As one of the key faces of the branch, you'll play an important role in helping customers find the products they need, providing expert advice and ensuring every visit to Bradfords is a positive experience.

Working across both the trade counter and yard, you'll support customers from the moment they arrive through to collecting their goods. You'll build strong relationships with customers, provide product advice and identify opportunities to promote additional products and services that could benefit their projects.

You'll be organised, proactive and able to work effectively in a busy environment while maintaining a strong focus on safety and accuracy.
