Flexibility & Hours: Choose your hours 

This is a Fixed Term Contract, until October 2021. You will work a minimum of 20 hours per week. Your standard hours will be 07:30AM to 13:00PM Mon-Friday and Saturday mornings from 08:00AM to 12:00PM (if applicable) with the option to flex up with the branch opening hours.

How does the role fit into the business?
As a Customer Sales Assistant, you will deal directly with customers who come into the branch or contact us. 

Our success is built on teamwork and great customer relationships. So, we want you to provide a helpful, friendly and efficient service at all times. It’s likely that you will get to know customers on a first name basis - relationship building really is important. 
 
What will you be doing?
  • Handling customer requests and providing product information, 
  • Preparing quotes and dealing with the sales process.
  • Helping customers with every aspect of their purchase. 
  • Ensuring the safe and correct movement of our products around the branch (safety is at the forefront of everything we do, so you’ll ensure standards never slip). 

What experience do you need?
As this is a key customer facing role, you need the ability to provide great customer service, build effective relationships and work as part of a team. 

Previous experience of managing large customer accounts is helpful but not essential. We can teach you all the rest.  

Due to Health & Safety requirements all applicants must be a minimum of 18 years old.
  
Does this sound like you?
These qualities are in the DNA of all our fantastic Customer Sales Assistants. If this sounds like you, please apply now.
  • Highly adaptable, resilient & tenacious: you will have the drive and energy levels to thrive in a fast-paced branch environment.
  • Friendly & outgoing: you will enjoy communicating face-to-face with customers and building strong relationships.
