Job description

What you'll do

Store Assistant Arbroath – 16 hours per week. We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store. Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes.

At Toolstation, we’re not just looking for what you can bring to us today – we’re focused on helping you grow with us. Many of our managers started as Store Assistants and now run their own stores or oversee operations.

• No retail experience? No problem! All we ask is that you're committed to delivering excellent service, and we’ll teach you everything else.
• Get stuck in: be ready to handle deliveries, unpack stock, keep the store clean, and prepare orders. Hard work and a positive attitude are more important than experience.
• Provide outstanding service: whether you’re chatting with customers or staying efficient during busy times, you’ll always offer a great experience.
• Ask the right questions: show genuine interest in customers’ projects so you can help them find everything they need to get the job done right.
• Be proactive: you’ll be expected to sell the benefits of Toolstation Club and Trade Accounts, signing customers up to experience great deals and competitive prices.

What you’ll bring

• A warm, friendly personality – you’ll help maintain our high store standards and create a workplace everyone enjoys.
• Reliability – be there when we need you. Flexibility, commitment and support for your customers and team are key.
• Your best self – bring your energy, enthusiasm, and let your personality shine.
