Job description

Love food and prefer to work overnight as part of a team? Then look no further. We’re an impressive 24-hour operation, open all day and working through the night to make sure our shops are ready for whenever our customers choose to shop with us.

As a Trading Assistant, you’ll focus on replenishing stock, checking dates across our fresh produce and grocery products, and helping unload deliveries. 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 throughout the night.

In any area you work in, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and have a keen attention to detail. You may have less customer interaction than your daytime colleagues, but you’ll still be committed to ensuring a great shopping experience.

We aim to help everyone who joins us be 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!

If the shifts for this role include hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.

Sainsbury's will only recruit individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age. To find out the school leaver’s age for your country, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/know-when-you-can-leave-school

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

• Nightshift premium - an additional £2.45 per hour for every hour worked between midnight and 5am (where applicable).
• Discount card – 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% off 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 your hours worked.
• Shopping discounts – special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave – generous maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – Sainsbury’s will match between 4-7.5% of your pension contributions.
