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 the store to ensure it's ready to deliver festive magic for our customers. There's no better time to join 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'll be part of a close-knit team, you'll also work independently and use your initiative, as you'll 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 keen attention to detail. Although you may have less customer interaction than daytime colleagues, you'll still focus on providing a brilliant shopping experience.

We aim to help everyone who joins us be their best 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 schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

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

Legal Requirement: Sainsbury's will only recruit individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age. For details, visit your country's school leaver's age info.

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

• Nightshift premium: an additional £2.45/hour for hours between midnight and 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 stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave: maternity and paternity leave benefits.
• 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.
