**The Vacancy**

We love our customers. They’re just like our Customer Service Assistants - people who want to get on with stuff, get things done and get hands-on too. That’s why they come to our stores for help with all the everyday stuff that makes their world go round. As a Customer Service Assistant, you’ll play a big role in a growing business that’s as ambitious as you are.

Your role as Customer Service Assistant will be all about making sure every customer receives the very best service, every time, at the till or out on the shop floor. Thanks to your warm friendly manner, helpful approach and great product knowledge, customers will keep coming back to us every time they need to tick those to-dos off their list. Taking huge pride in what you do, you’ll make sure that the shop floor looks shipshape, and all of the stock is in the right place and of course, looks its best.

Naturally, we don’t expect you to know wilko inside and out. Which is why we train and develop our Customer Service Assistants to build the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to be the best and keep our customers smiling. However, you will need a genuine enthusiasm for customer service, the motivation to learn and a real passion for helping people - no matter what they need from us.

If you value hard work, having fun and want to be part of a happy environment that people love to work in, you’ll be well-rewarded for it. You’ll receive a really generous benefits package that includes 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays) rising to 38 after 10 years’ service, a pension scheme, the opportunity to join our Retailer Level 2 apprenticeship scheme and team member and family discounts of 20% plus much more.

**The Company**

We're a family-owned business with honest and fair family values at our heart.

For ninety years, we've been giving our customers all the stuff they need to brighten up their homes and neaten up their gardens. And, when it comes to our people, we believe in offering the same support, for the things that matter to them too.

So, take a closer look. Discover the history, values, and commitments that make us who we are - and that you'll become part of if you join us.

**Rewards & Benefits**

**Be better every day**

We have a fantastic incentive plan at wilko: Be Better Every Day Bonus - BBED Bonus. This is our annual cash bonus plan which is open to everyone at wilko.

**Holidays**

Depending on your grade, your holiday package will range from 28 days - 38 days, including bank holidays. There is also the option to purchase up to an additional 10 days holiday. Speaking of holidays, we also own a range of holiday homes across the country so if you fancy a weekend away, we could get you a great deal.

**Pension scheme**

We’ve two market-leading pension schemes for you to choose from. Both schemes give you the opportunity to save into a first-class pension with us matching your contribution up to a certain percentage.

**Wilko team member discount**

This is our most loved benefit. To help your hard-earned cash go further, you’ll enjoy a 20% discount in store and online. Even better, we offer a second discount card too (terms and conditions apply).

**Employee benefits trust**

Founded by Tony Wilkinson in the 1980’s, this was set up to help our team members, as and when they need it. The Trust can support you in a number
of ways:

- Holiday accommodation
- Educational benefits
- Financial support

**Wilko WOW**

This is an online portal where you can access amazing offers and discounts. From great discounts on shopping, days out, holidays and health and fitness, there’s lots to explore.

**Loyalty awards**

We believe your loyalty deserves rewarding. So, once you complete 10 years continuous service, you’ll receive a wilko gift card as a thank you for your contribution. We’ll mark your next milestone in service every 10 years after that.
