Hours & Flexibility:

Hours will vary depending on the store location, with some shifts including evenings, or overnight work; we offer enhanced pay for any hours worked between 12am and 6am, and flexibility is essential—especially during peak trading periods and across multiple store locations; if you hold a valid driving licence, there may also be opportunities to support stock movement between stores. Lone working may be required, and we ensure all team members are equipped with the tools and training to stay safe and effective

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team, gaining valuable retail experience during the busiest and most exciting season, enjoying enhanced pay for night shifts, and helping make someone’s Christmas extra special.
