Join Our Festive Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant

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 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, we also trust you to 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. Although you may have less customer interaction than daytime colleagues, you will still focus on providing a brilliant shopping experience.

We aim to help everyone who joins us to 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 of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, but there may also be permanent opportunities available. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

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

Legal note: 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:
