Job description

About the job

Locations: This is a fixed term contract ending 28 December 2025.

Are you someone who loves bringing joy to others and thrives in a fun, fast‑paced environment? We’re looking for enthusiastic, friendly, and celebration‑loving individuals to join us as Seasonal Sales Assistants at cardfactory. As we head into the most magical time of the year — filled with celebrations, togetherness, and sparkle — our stores become vibrant hubs of joy. And we need extra hands (and smiles!) to help us make it all happen. No retail experience? No problem — we’ll show you the ropes! What matters most is that you’re friendly, approachable, and ready to help; comfortable working at pace and on your feet (it gets busy, but it’s all part of the fun!) If you’re flexible with your time — we may even offer shifts across nearby stores if you’re up for it.

What you’ll be getting up to

• Put our customers at the heart of everything you do — it’s our promise to them.
• Make every shopper feel welcomed, wowed, and won over — that’s the cardfactory way!
• Serve at the tills with a smile, making sure everyone finds what they came in for (and maybe a little extra).
• Keep our shelves stocked and looking fabulous — so customers can always find what they’re looking for.
• Recommend our amazing range of gifts, wrap, and more — we’re so much more than just cards!

Why join us

If you’ve got great communication skills, love chatting with people, and want to earn some extra cash this festive season, this could be the perfect role for you. Plus, you’ll be part of something truly special — helping to make Christmas magical for every customer who walks through our doors.
