At Stephens, our values guide everything we do — putting the customer first, showing a can‑do attitude, and being stronger together as a team.

* Supporting with a range of shop tasks – including setting up displays, preparing fresh salad, handling deliveries, restocking and cleaning.
* Working flexible weekend shifts – mornings, afternoons, or late afternoons depending on the needs of the shop.
What We’re Looking For
No experience? No problem! We’re not looking for a long CV – we’re looking for the right attitude.
Are you:
* Someone who always puts the customer first?
* A person with a can‑do attitude who enjoys getting stuck in and helping?
* A team player who believes we’re stronger together?
* Someone who thrives in the fast‑paced energy of a busy shop?

* Free confidential counselling for mental health, money, legal, or work matters
* Discounts at over 1,000 retailers, including Asda, Aldi, cinemas, holidays, and more
* Career development opportunities — we love to promote and develop from within
