Job description

Overview

To be a Seasonal Sales Assistant at The Entertainer you must be reliable and flexible in what hours you can work; there may be the chance of extra hours if we are busy. You should be approachable and confident to deliver excellent customer service, physically fit and able to move stock around the store, work with deliveries and pallets on your own and as a team, and be willing and able to help out when needed in our local Tesco concession space. Merchandising, keeping the shelves full, talking to customers and handling deliveries are part of the role.

Holly, Seasonal Sales Assistant from last year says: "Working for The Entertainer is a wonderful and thrilling experience, there is never a day where I am bored or have nothing to do. I enjoy restocking and making sure all the prices are correct for all our customers; however, I do like seeing kids get excited about seeing their favourite toys in stock. For me this is very rewarding and love seeing the excited and thrilled looks on their faces. On the weekends when it is especially busy, I like to replenish and make myself available for everybody, whether that\'s to grab an item off the top shelf or to recommend a toy or bestseller for Christmas. I love being a Seasonal Sales Assistant as I feel that those little jobs like restocking can make a big difference to a customer coming in to our store for the first time."
