Services Assistant

Job description

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and spread some seasonal cheer as one of our Services Assistants. In this fast-paced, energetic and hands-on role, you can help us make good food joyful to all our customers and provide the very best shopping experience. There’s no better time to join our team and join in the excitement of the festive season.

As a Services Assistant you’ll be the friendly professional face on our checkouts, self-service tills, kiosk or petrol station, and even helping customers pick up click and collect parcels. In fact, you’ll be ready to do everything you can to make things as simple as possible for our customers, from dealing with complaints, refunds, shelf tickets and advertising. 

Whichever area you’re working in, you’ll take pride in doing the right thing for our customers and be passionate about helping people. It’s also important you are prepared to work flexibly and when things get quiet, supporting our other colleagues on the shop floor with their activities. 

We aim to make everyone who joins us 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! 

Whilst many of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, there may also be permanent opportunities available - please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure that the role is right for you
