Job description

Join Our Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant This Christmas

Be our magic ingredient this festive season as 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 ready to deliver festive magic to our customers. This is a great opportunity to be part of the seasonal excitement.

This role is fast-paced and requires you to be active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers. You should be comfortable working with new technology and able to work independently throughout the night, using your initiative while also being part of a close-knit team.

Regardless of your area of work, you will take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and paying keen attention to detail. While 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 fostering an inclusive environment where our colleagues enjoy working and our customers love to shop.

Note: Many roles are temporary over the festive period, but there may be permanent opportunities. Please check the contract type and hours before applying to ensure suitability. If your shifts include hours before 6am or after 11pm, you must be at least 18 years old.

Eligibility: Sainsbury's recruits individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age. For details, please visit your country’s school leaver’s age information.

Benefits

• Nightshift premium: An additional £2.45 per hour worked between midnight - 5am (where applicable).
• Discount card: 10% off at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% on Fridays and Saturdays at Sainsbury’s and on pay days at Argos.
• Free food and hot drinks in all stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• 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 salary.
• Wellbeing support: Free access to our Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support and guidance.
