Customer Services Assistant

Our food stores are at the heart of many local communities. You’ll be joining a team at the forefront of the business, working together to keep the store fully stocked and ready for our customers, always delivering friendly service with a smile! 

Every day will offer a new experience, and you’ll be involved in a wide range of activities together as part of a passionate and hardworking team. As a Customer Services Assistant you will be working on our checkouts, replenishing stock, sharing your knowledge of our range with our customer alongside promoting the benefits of membership. 

We’re part of the communities that we support, and our stores are open when our customers need us. So, we need candidates to be flexible with their working hours where possible. If applicable, we will discuss in more detail with you at the interview stage.

We’re not looking for any specific experience or qualifications – we’ll provide you with all the training necessary! It’s your personality, skills, motivation, and values that matter the most to us. You’ll need to demonstrate:

• A passion for customer service and a desire to deliver a great shopping experience for our customers
• Excellent communication and listening skills to help adapt to a fast-paced retail environment
• The ability to work well as part of a team to drive sales and achieve goals, ensuring the success of your store
• An enthusiastic approach and willingness to support your colleagues
• Reliability and being able to take responsibility for being at work on time, well presented and ready to be a brand ambassador
• That you can help us achieve our purpose by being inspiring, helpful, and trustworthy!

From a single store in 1861 we have grown to be one of the most successful co-operatives in the UK. We’re proud to be able to offer a wide range of services from across our family of businesses. From Food Stores and Pharmacies to Post Offices and Support Services, we’re a growing society made up of over 220 outlets and nearly 3,000 colleagues.
