Job description

  • Greet customers, answer questions, and help them find the right product.
  • Deliver brilliant service at every touchpoint, from the door to the till.
  • Keep the shop floor tidy, well-stocked, and visually on point.
  • Replenish shelves and rails so the floor is always ready for the next customer.
  • Process transactions quickly and accurately.
  • Promote current offers and spot smart upsell opportunities.
  • Work as one team to hit daily sales and service goals.

  • A confident, friendly, positive attitude.
  • Retail or customer service experience is a bonus, but not essential. We'll back you to learn.
  • Motivation to deliver results and take real pride in your work.
  • Flexibility and reliability, especially through peak trade.
  • A team-player mentality that thrives when the pace picks up.
  • Strong communication skills and a customer-first mindset.

Our values shape every shift, every conversation, every decision:

  • Think Without Limits: Move fast, take bold action, and bring the team with you.
  • Own It and Back Yourself: Take responsibility, master the basics, and drive results.
  • Be Relevant: Stay connected to our people, our partners, and the planet.
