Shop Assistance jobs in United Kingdom

We’re looking for a Customer Service Assistant to join our team at One Stop, a subsidiary of Tesco. This role involves working in a fast‑paced retail environment where no day is the same, providing excellent customer service, stocking shelves, processing payments, and maintaining the store’s appearance.

As the customer is at the heart of everything we do, you will be constantly looking for ways to improve service through on‑the‑job coaching and feedback. With your guidance, the store will remain a safe place to work and shop.

• I know my customers and serve them with passion and pride, providing great natural service.
• I actively encourage customers to give feedback on their shopping trip through completing the ‘have your say’ survey.
• I work across all areas of the store—including online, tills, replenishment, vending and stock routines—to ensure tasks are completed to meet the needs of our customers.
• I put into practice the training I have received to ensure we work safely.
• I take part in seasonal, community and charity events, creating a great inclusive atmosphere.
• I am knowledgeable about the store’s performance, understand my role, and what we need to do together to deliver profit.
• I live the values, making everyone feel welcome and always follow the policies.
• I ensure I clock in and out at the start and end of my shift to ensure accurate pay.
• I keep myself, my colleagues and customers safe by following security procedures and wearing safety equipment where available.
• I always follow the Think 25 policy when serving age‑restricted products to all customers.
• I respond quickly to assistance calls or interventions on self‑service checkouts, explaining what I am doing to the customer.
• I work in a clean, tidy and organised manner, keeping aisles clear of congestion.
• At certain times I may be responsible for running the shift in the absence of my Shift Leader and Store Manager.
• I ensure I follow all training to keep myself, others and the store safe and legal.
• If this store has a Post Office Local, your duties will include the day‑to‑day operations of the post office. Therefore you will be required to undertake a Post Office Financial and criminal conviction background check, which you must pass to proceed with this role; if the checks fail, we will be forced to withdraw the offer.

One Stop is committed to making everyday life easier for our customers. With a strong local presence, we offer a wide range of quality products at great value, alongside friendly and helpful service. As part of the Tesco Group, One Stop combines the benefits of a large organisation with the close‑knit feel of a neighbourhood store. We’re passionate about creating a welcoming environment for both our customers and our colleagues, and we’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our growing team!

Everyone is welcome. We celebrate diverse backgrounds and perspectives, treating everyone fairly and with respect. As a Disability Confident Leader (Level 3), we commit to an accessible recruitment process, offering reasonable adjustments. Our six colleague networks—Armed Forces, Disability, LGBTQ+, Families & Carers, Race & Ethnicity, and Women—foster a safe, supportive environment.

We support local charities and groups, partnering with national organisations. Over the past decade we’ve raised over £10.4 million for good causes and donated the equivalent of 1.6 million meals through partnerships with FareShare and Olio. Whether it’s climbing mountains, running marathons, or organising a local raffle, our colleagues go the extra mile to support the causes they care about.
