Every visit to our store is a chance to make someone’s day - and you’ll be right there to make sure it happens, from the first hello to the final thank you. Our Sales Assistants are the foundation of our stores - a brilliant team at the heart of everything we do.

Whether it’s finding the perfect item or offering a little inspiration, they make sure every customer leaves with exactly what they came for, and a lasting impression that brings them back time and time again. As a host, you’ll be the first smile our customers see – and the reason they come back. You’ll be out on the shop floor, approaching customers, understanding what they’re looking for and helping them bring their vision to life. You’ll be confident recommend products, spotting opportunities to upsell, and creating those little moments of joy that make a big difference. You’ll also be tech-savvy, using our systems to check stock and organise home delivery, recommend online exclusives, and sort any queries with ease.

  • You’ll consistently deliver exceptional customer service to support strong CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) scores, ensuring every customer receives a welcoming, helpful, and memorable experience
  • You’ll be the first point of call for our customers, focused on providing exceptional customer service and offering assistance across all departments on the shop floor

Whilst your focus will be on hosting, you’ll be trained in all aspects of customer-facing store life, such as: Tills – Offering a friendly and efficient checkout experience. You’ll take the time to check everything’s complete and pack fragile items with care, making sure every shopper leaves feeling confident their items will arrive home safely and in perfect condition; Shop Floor – Helping shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for - and maybe even something they didn’t know they needed. You’ll offer friendly, knowledgeable support that leaves a lasting impression, building loyalty through genuine service and a real passion for our products and people; Stock & Delivery – A hands-on role that involves some heavy lifting and plenty of variety. While you’ll be taking in deliveries, checking stock, and replenishing the shop floor, this isn’t just a backroom job - it’s customer-facing too. You’ll keep displays looking their best, update pricing and recover the store after busy periods, all while staying tuned in to what shoppers need and making sure everything’s easy to find, well-presented, and ready to go.
