Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread some seasonal cheer as one of our Trading Assistants in our night shift team.

From stocking shelves to checking products and helping unload deliveries, you’ll support across the store to ensure it’s ready to deliver festive magic for our customers. There’s no better time to join our team and be part of the festive season excitement.

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

Whichever area you’re working in, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and have a keen attention to detail. You might have less customer interaction than your daytime colleagues, but you’ll still be focused on providing a great shopping experience.

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

Note: While many roles will be temporary over the festive period, there may also be permanent opportunities. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If shifts include hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.
