Job description

What you'll do

• Store Assistant in Crawley
• 16 hours per week
• We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store. Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes.
• At Toolstation, we're not just looking for what you can bring to us today – we’re focused on helping you grow with us. Many of our managers started as Store Assistants and now run their own stores or oversee operations.

• No retail experience? No problem! All we ask is that you're committed to delivering excellent service, and we’ll teach you everything else.
• Get stuck in: Be ready to handle deliveries, unpack stock, keep the store clean, and prepare orders. Hard work and a positive attitude are more important than experience.
• Provide outstanding service: Whether you're chatting with customers or staying efficient during busy times, you'll always offer a great experience.
• Ask the right questions: Show genuine interest in customers' projects so you can help them find everything they need to get the job done right.
• Be Proactive: you’ll be expected to sell the benefits of Toolstation Club and Trade Accounts, signing customers up to experience great deals and competitive prices.

• Reliability: Be there when we need you. Flexibility, commitment, and support for your customers and team are key.
