Job description

Join Our Night Shift Team as a Trading Assistant This Festive Season

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread seasonal cheer 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 festive-ready for our customers. This is a great opportunity to be part of the festive season excitement.

This fast-paced role requires you to be active, including lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, and confident working with new technology. You will work both as part of a close-knit team and independently, using your initiative during night shifts.

Whichever area you work in, you'll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and paying keen attention to detail. While there may be less customer interaction than daytime roles, ensuring a brilliant shopping experience remains your focus.

We are committed to making everyone who joins us the best they can be and to being a fully inclusive retailer where our colleagues love to work and our customers love to shop.

Note: Many roles are temporary over the festive period, but permanent opportunities may also be available. Please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure suitability.

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