If you’re seeking a flexible, part-time retail position, the Sales Assistant opportunity at Topps Tiles offers a straightforward entry. This is a permanent role with 10 hours per week, including some weekend work.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities
As a Sales Assistant, you’ll spend your shift engaging directly with customers. You’ll help people visualise their projects, offer product recommendations, and support them through their purchase decisions. Your tasks go beyond handling tills, encouraging you to build relationships with repeat customers and inspire shoppers with creative guidance on style and design.
You’ll also be responsible for maintaining high standards of customer service and learning product knowledge to advise both trade and retail customers. There will be some physical activity, as you may need to move boxes of tiles as part of daily work.
Pros of the Role
This job stands out with its commission per sale and the guarantee of no evening shifts or work on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. You’ll have excellent opportunities for training and advancement, which are great if you’re seeking long-term retail experience.
The supportive work environment in small teams means you’re valued, and new starters don’t need prior tile or retail knowledge to succeed here.
Cons to Consider
There are some physical requirements, such as lifting heavy tile boxes, so you’ll need to be comfortable with manual handling. The role is also only open to candidates aged 18 and above.
The job is part-time at 10 hours per week, which may not suit those looking for higher income or full-time roles.
Verdict
For anyone after an approachable part-time job with good pay, minimal retail experience requirements, and no late shifts, the Sales Assistant role at Topps Tiles is a strong choice. The regular hours, commission structure, and friendly team culture make this job attractive for those who want to grow in retail without the usual drawbacks.
