Your local store is looking for 12hrs per week Sales Assistant - Click & Collect.

Every visit to our store is a chance to make someone’s day - and you’ll be right there to make sure it happens, from the first hello to the final thank you.

Our Click & Collect customers expect a service that’s fast, accurate, and fuss-free. They’ve already made their choices - now they’re counting on you to deliver them. You’ll understand the importance of getting it right first time, every time, and take pride in making sure every order is ready to go when it should be.

What you'll be doing

• You’ll be customer-obsessed – you’ll consistently consider the impact of your actions on the customer experience and strive to deliver joyful experiences in the most effective and thoughtful way
• You’ll be quick and precise, locating products from the shop floor and warehouse, making sure every item is exactly what the customer ordered. You’ll work quickly but carefully, delivering on our time promises
• You’ll be using handheld devices, mobile printers, and sale systems to manage orders, print labels and keep everything ticking along. We’ll train you up so you feel confident and capable
• You’ll be organised, keeping our back of house storage area neat and tidy, making sure orders are easy to find and ready to go. Whether its putting away parcels or prepping for busy collection times, you’ll stay one step ahead
• You’ll make every customer experience joyful – you’ll be the friendly face that greets them warmly and makes sure they leave happy
• You’ll take in daily courier drops, check everything has arrived safely and get parcels ready for collection

Whilst your focus may be on one or more of these areas, you’ll trained in all aspects of customer-facing store life, such as:

• Tills – Offering a friendly and efficient checkout experience. You’ll take the time to check everything’s complete and pack fragile items with care, making sure every shopper leaves feeling confident their items will arrive home safely and in perfect condition
• Shop Floor – Helping shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for - and maybe even something they didn’t know they needed. You’ll offer friendly, knowledgeable support that leaves a lasting impression, building loyalty through genuine service and a real passion for our products and people
• Hosting – When something isn’t available on the shelves, you’ll step in with confidence, using our iPad systems to place orders for home delivery, making sure no one leaves empty-handed. You’ll also be trained to deliver our fantastic Made to Measure service, helping create bespoke curtains and blinds tailored to each shopper’s needs. And when it comes to styling key areas like our ever-popular bedding displays, you’ll bring inspiration to life - giving customers the chance to feel the fabrics and find the perfect pieces for their home
• Stock & Delivery – A hands-on role that involves some heavy lifting and plenty of variety. While you’ll be taking in deliveries, checking stock, and replenishing the shop floor, this isn’t just a backroom job - it’s customer-facing too. You’ll keep displays looking their best, update pricing, and recover the store after busy periods, all while staying tuned in to what shoppers need and making sure everything’s easy to find, well-presented, and ready to go
