Topps Tiles is the UK’s number one tile retailer, renowned for our extensive range of high-quality tiles and exceptional customer service. With over 280 stores nationwide and a team of 1,600 dedicated experts, we’re more than just a business — we’re a community. Small teams with big ambitions who trust each other, celebrate success, and put the customer at the heart of everything we do… that’s the Topps way.

A retail career like no other

Working in retail as a Sales Assistant (known internally as a Service Specialist!) is genuinely different at Topps Tiles. As a key member of a small, supportive team, you’ll help customers visualise their projects and find exactly what they need to make their vision a reality.

You won’t just serve at a till. You’ll become a specialist, developing real sales skills by using a consultative approach — asking great questions and understanding customer needs. Every conversation is a chance to influence, inspire, sell and create an exceptional experience that keeps customers coming back.

And unlike many retail roles, you won’t work late evenings — plus you’ll enjoy three days off at Christmas.

Oh, and did we mention? You’ll earn commission on every sale you help makehappen.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building long-standing relationships with regular trade and retail customers through a consultative sales approach.
  • Asking the right questions to understand customer needs so you can confidently recommend the best products.
  • Using your creativity to inspire customers with colour, style, layout and design ideas.
  • Driving sales through expert product knowledge
  • Confidently closing sales and maximising every opportunity

No experience? No problem.

You don’t need to know anything about tiles — or even retail. If you’re outgoing, friendly, energetic and don’t mind lifting heavy boxes, we’ll give you all the training you need, including developing your sales confidence and skills through our simple, customer-first sales framework.

What’s in it for you?

  • Competitive basic salary
  • Sales commission
  • No evening work
  • Christmas Eve and Boxing Day off
  • Ongoing training, development and progression opportunities
  • Generous Staff Discount
  • Access to our Benefits platform with a wide range of discounts from 100s of retailers.

You’ll love working for Topps — and we can’t wait to hear from you.
