**Who we are**

We know that life is bigger than just your job and, while we can’t always accommodate every flexible working request, we do support part-time and job-share roles — so don’t hesitate to ask us how we can work around your availability.

One more thing: Sainsbury’s is a place for people who are open, kind and dedicated to doing better every day. Diversity and inclusion are key, so you’ll be a role model encouraging all colleagues to be themselves at work while also recognising great performance and cheering on progress.
