Job description

Overview

Become a Seasonal Retail Sales Assistant. As a Seasonal Sales Assistant, you'll join our merry crew and help make this holiday season the best one yet! Supporting our busy peak period leading up to the holiday, you will be the heart of our retail store, welcoming customers with a friendly smile and inspiring them to read, learn, create, or play. We have lots of deliveries and seasonal stock to manage. The role can be physically demanding and hard work - you'll need to be physically comfortable managing stairs and heavy stock, but our supportive team of crafty, caring, and can-do colleagues will be there to lend a helping hand. Joining us during this period is a great way to take advantage of our 25% colleague discount to help in the run up to holiday season.

• Merchandising Marvel: Unwrap your creative flair by following our planograms for key product areas. And when you have the freedom, let your creativity dance like snowflakes in non-planogrammed spaces to catch the eye!
• Deliveries: Become a puzzle-master as you manage heavy deliveries, price & label products like a pro, sort items onto shop floor displays, and make sure the stockroom is as snug as a Christmas stocking!
• Have fun: Be your best, authentic elf-self and embrace the opportunity to connect with our brand, colleagues, and customers. Have a jolly good time making the store a twinkling wonderland to visit and work!

Skills / Behaviours That Will Set You Apart

• Genuine and authentic: Your positivity, creativity, and passion for our brand and products shine through like twinkling lights on a Christmas tree. Talking to people is your superpower, and customers can't resist your helpful recommendations.
• Resilient champion: You can handle the fast-paced retail environment like a boss, juggling busy days, heavy deliveries, and customers with ease. You're the ultimate multitasking hero!
• Stock magician: You tackle the puzzle of sorting, pricing, and merchandising deliveries like Santa's little helper. Embrace the boxes; they've got nothing on you!
