Join Our Festive Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread seasonal cheer as one of our Trading Assistants in our night shift team. From stocking shelves to date 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 requiring you to be active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, and confident working with new technology. While you will be part of a close-knit team, you’ll also work independently and use your initiative, as you will be working 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 will still focus on ensuring a brilliant 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.

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

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

Legal note: Sainsbury's recruits only individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age. For details, visit your country's relevant page.

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

• Nightshift premium: an additional £2.45/hour for hours between midnight and 5am (if applicable).
• Discount card: 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% on Fridays and Saturdays at Sainsbury’s, and on pay days at Argos.
• Free food and hot drinks in stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, vouchers, and more.
• Family leave: maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension: Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of 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 for confidential support and guidance.
