Job Description

The salary for this role is £12.40 per hour

The festive season at Boots is one of our most exciting and important times of the year, and it simply couldn't happen without the energy and dedication of our operations team. As a Retail Operations Assistant, you'll be at the heart of the action, picking and packing orders to ensure every customer receives the high-end festive experience they love and deserve - helping create moments that lead to a happily ever after.

This role is a great opportunity whether you're just starting out in your career or have retail or warehouse experience and want a fresh challenge. If you enjoy meeting personal goals and being part of a supportive team, this is the position for you.

Whilst this is a temporary contract, there may be the potential for a permanent role later depending on the opportunities in your local area, so it could be the start of a new career with us.

About the role

You will work in a Boots store and report to the Assistant or Store Manager, and your responsibilities will include:

  • Picking and Packing: You will pick and pack online orders using handheld devices.
  • Delivery Assistance: You will assist with incoming deliveries, unloading and sorting stock.
  • Stock Management: You will manage the shelves to ensure they are well-stocked, and everything is in the right place.
  • Working to Targets: You will work to stretching daily targets, contributing to your overall team goal.
  • Customer Interaction: Whilst this is a behind-the-scenes role, you'll occasionally interact with customers on the shop floor, answering questions or jumping on the tills when required.

  • Team Player: A collaborative, one-team mindset is key to helping each other meet your overall store goals and have fun along the way.
  • Physical Stamina: You'll be on your feet, standing, walking and lifting. If you're ready to stay busy and active, this is the role for you
  • Tech-Savvy: You need to be comfortable learning about and using new technology, including handheld mobile devices.
  • Customer Service Skills: While your main focus will be in the stock room, a friendly attitude and willingness to help customers is a must
