Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

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 to be comfortable on your feet, work at pace, and use technology as part of your role. While you will be part of a close-knit team, you’ll also need to work independently and use your initiative during 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 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 reach their potential 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.

• Free food and hot drinks provided for colleagues in all our stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts – special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
