Retail Sales Assistant
Join a fun team and make a difference on an 8-hour contract! Enjoy discounts, development and variety while inspiring customers every day. Flexible shifts are available.
Are you searching for a flexible, rewarding part-time role where you can bring real smiles to customers’ faces? The Works is offering an 8-hour weekly contract as a Retail Sales Assistant, perfect for those who want variety and a supportive workplace. With a permanent, fully flexible contract, there’s room for you to tailor your schedule and enjoy multiple perks.
Day-to-day, expect to work directly with people—welcoming customers, recommending creative products, and making sure the store remains tidy and well-stocked. You’ll operate tills, organise deliveries and stockrooms, and help customers find exactly what they need. The Works expects you to be reliable, friendly and a true team player. As a keyholder, additional pay and management experience come with extra shifts.
Main Pros
The staff discount system stands out, with 25% off and regular double discount days, meaning you can save on everything from books to crafts. You’ll also benefit from an array of incentives: early wage access, a pension plan, a share scheme and a healthcare cash plan. There are support options around the clock for you and your family.
The company’s strong focus on diversity and inclusion makes it a welcoming place for all backgrounds. Flexible shift patterns mean the job can work well alongside studies, parenting or another role. Team culture here is vibrant, with real opportunities for learning and career progression.
Main Cons
The physical nature of the job may not suit everyone. Lifting stock and standing for long periods are part of the day. Also, retail schedules can mean working weekends and evenings, which could impact your personal time.
While keyholders can develop skills, not all staff will want management responsibilities or the pressure to hold keys at times.
Verdict
If you want a varied and sociable part-time job in retail, this position offers brilliant perks, excellent support and a positive working environment. It’s well suited to anyone enthusiastic about delivering great service with some flexibility built in. Ideal for those ready to learn and grow in a creative, customer-focused team.
