About the role:
Our food stores are at the heart of many local communities. You’ll be joining a team at the forefront of the business, working together to keep the store fully stocked and ready for our customers, always delivering friendly service with a smile!
Every day will offer a new experience, and you’ll be involved in a wide range of activities together as part of a passionate and hardworking team. As a Customer Services Assistant you will be working on our checkouts, replenishing stock, sharing your knowledge of our range with our customer alongside promoting the benefits of membership.
We’re part of the communities that we support, and our stores are open when our customers need us. So, we need candidates to be flexible with their working hours where possible. If applicable, we will discuss in more detail with you at the interview stage.
