We’ll offer you full training and support to do all this and to understand how we get things done in the right way – we want to set you up for success, so you can hit the ground running.

We want our stores to be a placeour teams can be proud of, so you and your teamwill need to get stuck in to help keep the store looking freshand keeping your store clean and tidy.

Our customers come in when they’re free to shop, so evenings, weekends and bank holidays are our peak trade hours.

Ideally, you'll have worked in a customer facing role previously and have confident communication skills, being able to spot sales opportunities and be resilient and resourceful when you need to be, daring to try new things to help your store succeed.
