We are looking for a proactive and adaptable Range Assistant to join our busy Head Office team in Wellingborough. You’ll support the Range and Merchandising team in shaping the layout and product range of our branches across the UK. This role is part time 28 hours per week (excluding lunch break) and we are flexible for it to be done over 4 or 5 days per week.
You don’t need previous experience as a Range Assistant — we’ll teach you how our range and merchandising processes work. However, some background in administration would be advantageous, and a basic understanding of retail (such as how a planogram works) would be helpful.
You’ll be working closely with colleagues across different teams, so being able to tailor your communication style and build effective working relationships is key. We’re also looking for someone who stays motivated during quieter periods and takes initiative to pick up tasks without being prompted. If you’re naturally curious, self-driven, and enjoy making a difference behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
* Providing accurate and timely administrative support
* Ensuring data accuracy across product codes and modules
* Liaising with internal teams and external contacts
* Building strong working relationships across departments
* Supporting the wider team with day-to-day tasks
* Delivering excellent customer service
Qualifications
* Great communication skills and the ability to work well with different people
* A good eye for detail and a proactive mindset
* Confidence managing your own workload and staying organised
* Basic to intermediate Excel skills — if you’re not quite there yet, there’s informal support to help you build confidence with things like formulas and VLOOKUPs
* A willingness to learn new systems like SAP and get stuck into new processes
* Self-motivation to take initiative, especially when things are a bit quieter
* Some understanding of retail (e.g., planograms) is useful
* Previous admin experience is required
