Why The Works?
🏆 10th Best Big Company to Work For 2024 - 'Best Companies'
We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play. You sell the paint that turns someone into an artist, the book that unleashes an inner author, the games that help bring families together, and the puzzle book that reconnects with a late family member’s memory. You help ignite the spark within people, allowing them to unleash their creativity, find new passions, hobbies, or rekindle fond memories. The unseen possibilities are limitless, and it all starts with you.

Keyholder Responsibilities
If you’re over 18, you’ll join as a keyholder. Our Retail Sales Assistants support our Store Management team to keep the stores running like clockwork by opening, closing, and running the store when needed (holidays, days off, sickness etc). We’ll train you to do this. There are a lot of valuable skills to learn here that will benefit you in the future, and you’ll also receive our additional keyholding pay enhancement when holding keys.
If you’re under 18, you won’t be able to complete keyholding duties just yet, but when you reach your 18th birthday, we’ll get you set up for training so that you can earn the additional keyholding pay enhancement when on keyholder duties.
Skills / Behaviours That Will Set You Apart
* Genuine and authentic – Your positivity, creativity, and passion for our brand and products shine through. Talking to people is your superpower, and customers can’t resist your helpful recommendations!
* Resilient champion – You can handle the fast-paced retail environment like a boss, juggling busy days, heavy deliveries, and customers with ease. You’re the ultimate multitasking hero!
* Stock magician – You tackle the puzzle of sorting, pricing, and merchandising deliveries like a pro! Embrace the boxes; they’ve got nothing on you!
