**The importance of your role.**

This is your chance to be part of something a bit different. You’ll be working closely with the most important part of our business - our customers. Giving them fantastic customer care and making them feel good, and we think that’s a great opportunity.
- You’ll really get to know our customers and what they’re looking for; it’s everything from helping them find the perfect product, working deliveries and stocking the shelves, to getting behind our in-store promotion.**What you’ll be doing day to day.**

In the hustle and bustle of the airport where customers are rushing through to catch that flight it’s really important that we create a great shopping environment. Here’s how you will do it:

- Working with our customers, the most important part of our business. There are so many different customers from those travelling on business, to those travelling long distance and you’ll be there to help provide a great shopping experience. Whether that’s answering questions and giving great advice, showing where a product is when they are in a hurry or simply offering a basket, it’s the little things that make a difference.
- Working as a team. In a busy environment your day will be filled; from helping with the delivery and putting products on to shelves, to being on the tills, no two days are the same. It’s fast paced but working as a team, you’ll help to make sure that our stores are clean, tidy and presentable and provide a store that we can be really proud of.
- Be an expert. You’ll know the products across your store meaning you can give great advice, showing your customers options they might not have considered before. You’ll also use the in store iPad. Make our customers feel good. You’ll have a great relationship with your customers, putting them at ease, just by being you.

**What you’ll need to have.**

We’re looking for really great people, with a friendly personality. It’s all about working together as one great team - after all it’s our people that are at the heart of our business. You never know it could lead to another role with us. It would be great if you had experience of dealing with customers. But it isn’t just about experience, it’s personality that really counts, we’re interested in seeing a bit more, the real you - and that makes us all feel good.**Our Diversity and Inclusion commitment**
