• Saturday: 06:00-14:00
• Thursday: 17:00-23:00

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread some seasonal cheer as one of our Trading Assistants in our local convenience stores. From stocking shelves to serving customers and helping unload deliveries, you’ll support across the store where needed. In this fast-paced, energetic, and hands-on role, you can help us make good food joyful for all our customers. There’s no better time to join our team and be part of the festive season excitement.

This role is fast-paced, so you should be comfortable being active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, and confident working with new technology. While you’ll be part of a close-knit team, we’ll also trust you to work independently and use your initiative.

In any area of the store, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers, have a keen eye for detail, and be passionate about helping people and providing excellent service.

We aim to help everyone who joins us to be their best and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop and our colleagues love to work.

Many of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, but there may also be permanent opportunities. Please check the contract type and scheduled hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

The minimum application age for this role is 18, due to handling goods such as alcohol and tobacco.

Benefits for our colleagues include:

• Discount card – 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday, and 15% at Argos every pay day.
• Free food and hot drinks in all our stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave – maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension scheme – Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes – buy shares at discounted prices and purchase shares monthly from your gross salary.
• Wellbeing support – including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support and guidance on various issues.
