As a Sports Advisor your role is to ensure all customers leave our stores happy. You will be a crucial player in providing exceptional customer service and driving sales.

**Merchandising -** Whether full-time or part-time, every Sales Assistant is encouraged to take responsibility for autonomously managing stock levels and pricing and to provide a high level of merchandising so that each customer can easily find the right product for their sports practice.

**Being a team player -** You’ll be part of a shop floor team of like-minded Sports Advisors, working for and practising sport, and celebrating victories together, so it’s important that you are able to work well within a team environment but independently as well.
