Job Description:

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 date checking products to helping unload deliveries, you’ll support across the store to make sure 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.

It's a fast-paced role so you will need to be comfortable being active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, as well as being confident working with new technology. While you will be part of a close-knit team, we’ll also trust you to work alone 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’ll likely have less customer interaction than your daytime colleagues, but you’ll still be tuned into making sure we offer a brilliant shopping experience.

We aim to make 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!

Note: Many roles are temporary over the festive period, but permanent opportunities may also be available. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If the shifts for this role cover hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you will need to 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:

Alongside a market-leading salary, we offer a range of benefits:

• Nightshift premium: an additional £2.45 per hour for hours between midnight - 5am (where applicable).
• Discount card: 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks. Discounts increase to 15% at Sainsbury’s on Fridays and Saturdays, and at Argos on paydays.
• 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: Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes: buy shares at discounted prices and contribute monthly from your gross salary.
• Wellbeing support: including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential support and guidance.
