Seasonal Sales Assistant

1 week ago

Inverness IV JQ, United Kingdom The Works Full time

Fixed Term Contract - ending on 31st December 2024.
Whilst we can't make any promises right now, there is often potential for us to take on some seasonal colleagues on a permanent basis after the initial festive contract

Why The Works? We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play.

You sell the paint that turns someone into an artist. You provide the book that unleashes an inner author. You supply the games that help bring families together. You give someone the puzzle book that reconnects them with a late family member’s memory.
You never know who someone will become. So with your passion, and our products, you will help ignite the spark within people, allowing them to unleash their creativity, find new passions, hobbies, or rekindle fond memories.
The unseen possibilities are limitless, and it all starts with you.

Our Perks Are 'The Works'
  • 25% Colleague Discount - Helping you to save money for those presents
  •  My Works - Exclusive online discounts across hundreds of retailers, holidays, utility deals, tech and more
  • Can-Do Academy - Take control of your development with instant access to courses and training in areas that interest you.
  • ⛄ Wage/Paystream - Stream early access to 50% of your wages as you earn them – for when ‘life’ happens
  •  24/7 support for you and your family - Through our partnership with Retail Trust Charity, who provide an Employee Assistance Programme from Emotional Support to Financial Health and Physical Wellbeing.
