Our Sales Assistants are the foundation of our stores - a brilliant team at the heart of everything we do. With a focus on creating great experiences, they’re the first to lend a helping hand, always ready to offer support and guidance. Whether it’s finding the perfect item or offering a little inspiration, they make sure every customer leaves with exactly what they came for, and a lasting impression that brings them back time and time again. As a self-service till specialist, you’ll be right where the action is, supporting customers at one of the most important parts of their shopping journey. Whether someone’s in a hurry, looking for a bit of help, or just wants a friendly face nearby, you’ll be there to make sure everything runs smoothly. You’ll be confident using our tech, quick to solve any hiccups, and always ready to step in with a smile. You’ll keep an eye on multiple tills at once, making sure no customer feels unseen or stuck. It’s all about creating a checkout experience that’s fast, friendly, and fuss-free. Because when the last thing a customer sees is great service, it’s the first thing they remember.

What you'll be doing

• You’ll be customer obsessed – always considering the impact of your actions on the customer experience and striving to deliver joyful experiences in the most effective and thoughtful way
• You’ll consistently deliver exceptional customer service to support strong CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) scores, ensuring every customer receives a welcoming, helpful, and memorable experience
