Job description

The hours for this vacancy are as follows:

Sunday: 7:00-15:00

Friday: 15:00-23:00

Love food and a bustling working environment? Then you belong in one of our local convenience stores! Our Trading Assistants work in a fast-paced environment covering all aspects of the store. In this role, you’ll be replenishing stock, checking dates across our fresh produce and grocery products, helping unload deliveries, and serving customers at the tills. It’s important you are comfortable being on your feet, working at pace, and using technology as part of your role. While you will be part of a close-knit team, we’ll also trust you to work independently and use your initiative.

Whichever area you’re working in, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers, have a keen eye for detail, and be passionate about helping people to provide excellent service.

We aim to make everyone who joins us the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work!

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

Alongside a market-leading rate of pay, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues:

• Discount card – 10% discount off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday, and 15% off at Argos every payday.
• Free food and hot drinks provided for colleagues in all our stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on the hours you work.
• Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave – including maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – Sainsbury’s will match between 4-7.5% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes – buy shares at discounted prices and purchase shares monthly from your gross salary to build an investment.
• Wellbeing support – including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme, a confidential service providing support and guidance on various issues.
