You never know what future outcomes your customer interaction might spark, or who someone might become. With your passion and our products, you’ll help people discover new interests, explore their creativity, find a new hobby or reconnect with something they once loved.
The unseen possibilities are limitless - and it all starts with you.
As a Seasonal Sales Assistant, you'll join our merry crew and help make this holiday season the best one yet! This Christmas, you'll be at the heart of creating magical shopping experiences. From helping customers find the perfect present to uncovering festive treats they didn't know they needed, you'll bring energy, enthusiasm and exceptional service to every interaction.
You'll confidently welcome customers into the store, start conversations, understand who they're shopping for, and recommend gifts and products from our amazing Christmas ranges to help make their festive season extra special.
We have lots of deliveries and seasonal stock to manage. The role can be physically demanding and hard work - you'll need to be physically comfortable managing stairs and heavy stock, but our supportive team will be there to lend a helping hand!
Joining us during this period is a great way to take advantage of our 25% colleague discount to help in the run up to holiday season 🎁
