Keyholder Responsibilities

If you’re over *18, you’ll join as a keyholder. Our Retail Sales Assistants support our Store Management team to keep the stores running like clockwork by opening, closing, and running the store when needed, (holidays, days off, sickness etc), but don’t worry we’ll train you to do this.

*Under 18?

That's cool. If you're under 18, you won't be able to complete keyholding duties just yet, but when you reach your 18th birthday, we'll get you set up for training so that you can earn the additional keyholding pay enhancement when on keyholder duties.
