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

We are committed to making everyone who joins us the best they can be and 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. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Eligibility: If the shifts include 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 your country's school leaver age, please visit our website.

Benefits of Working with Us

• Nightshift premium: An additional £2.45/hour for hours between midnight - 5am (where applicable).
• Discount card: 10% off at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks; increased discounts on Fridays, Saturdays, and paydays.
• Free food and hot drinks in all stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
• Family leave: Maternity and paternity leave options.
• Pension scheme: Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes: Purchase shares at discounted prices and buy shares monthly from your gross salary.
• Wellbeing support: Free access to our Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support and guidance.
