Join Our Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant This Festive Season

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread seasonal cheer by becoming a Trading Assistant in our night shift team. Your responsibilities will include stocking shelves, date checking products, and helping unload deliveries to ensure the store is festive-ready for our customers. This is an ideal opportunity to be part of the festive season excitement.

This role is fast-paced and requires physical activity, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers. You should be confident working with new technology and able to work independently during night shifts. While teamwork is important, you'll also need to use your initiative throughout your shift.

Regardless of your specific area, you'll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and paying attention to detail. Although there may be less customer interaction than daytime roles, you will contribute to providing a great shopping experience.

We are committed to making everyone who joins us the best they can be and fostering an inclusive environment where our colleagues love to work and our customers love to shop.

Note: Many roles are temporary for the festive period, but some may become permanent. Please check the contract type and hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If your shifts include hours before 6am or after 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.
