About the role
Our food stores are at the heart of local communities. You’ll join a team at the forefront of the business, helping keep the store fully stocked and ready for customers, while delivering friendly service with a smile. You will work on our checkouts, replenish stock, share knowledge of our range with customers, and promote the benefits of membership. Our stores are open to meet customers’ needs, so flexibility with working hours is required where possible; if applicable, we will discuss details at interview.
