Trading Assistant

If you’re great at being on hand to help out, you’ll feel right at home joining us as one of our Trading Assistants. Day-to-day, you’ll support your Sainsbury’s store working where you’re needed the most. Most of the shifts advertised are early morning starts, and can range in times working until early evening.

In this role, you’ll be focused on the important task of sorting and replenishing stock, as well as code checking across our produce, fresh foods and dry goods and unloading deliveries. Don’t worry - we’ll train you up on everything you need to know. And you’ll also be doing the most important job there is - making things simpler for colleagues and customers alike.

Part of a close-knit, dedicated team all working and winning together, you’ll always have support on hand; but we’ll also trust you to use your own initiative. It’s about making a difference to everyone around you.

What’s great is that you don’t need to bring any specific experience to this role - you just need to bring your best attitude to work, make things happen at pace and overall be yourself. You’re friendly, you love helping people and it really shows. Plus, you’re comfortable with the idea of learning to use new technology and gadgets to do your job - and to do it very well.
