Job Advert
- Do you enjoy variety in your work and love helping customers feel welcome and supported? Are you someone who’s equally happy offering advice, moving stock, jumping behind the till - or even getting out on the road to deliver to local customers when needed? _We’re looking for a friendly and dependable Sales Assistant to join our team at Hildreth’s Garden Centre - a much-loved local business with a strong community spirit and a reputation for great service._
About Us:
Nestled in the Chiltern Hills, Hildreth’s is a much-loved, family-run garden centre with over 500 years of local heritage. Our family-run business offers an extensive range of products, from plants, gardening essentials, furniture and outdoor living items, to fine china, hardware, and unique gifts. Our popular Limes Tearoom Café, located within our premises, provides a welcoming atmosphere for visitors to relax and enjoy delightful refreshments - meaning we really are a destination for the local community. At our heart is a strong bond to the local area, and a commitment to warm, personal service.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a friendly, practical and people-focused Sales Assistant to join our team. You’ll be someone who naturally enjoys helping others - from welcoming customers and sharing product advice to restocking displays and managing transactions at the till.
- This is a varied, hands-on role, ideal for someone who likes to stay busy and thrives in a team environment.
- You’ll report to the General Manager and work closely with a small, supportive team who are passionate about our products and the people we serve. Your working week will involve a mix of customer interaction, stock replenishment, and occasional driving - no two days are the same.
- While your main focus will be on the shop floor, there will also be times when you support local deliveries in our Luton van, helping to transport garden furniture, plants and other items to customers across Buckinghamshire.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re looking for someone who brings good communication skills, a friendly approach, and the ability to stay calm and helpful in a busy retail setting. You should be physically confident with lifting and moving stock, and happy to muck in wherever needed.
- Computer literacy is important too, as you’ll be using tills and basic systems.
- To drive the company van, you’ll need to be over 25 (for insurance purposes) and hold a full UK driving licence.
- It would be great (though not essential) if you have a real passion for plants and gardening, and ideally you are familiar with the Prestwood/Buckinghamshire area.
- As this job requires working with larger items of furniture, a real bonus would be if you already have experience of manual handling; however, we’re able to provide you with training if required.
**Why Join Us?**:
At Hildreth’s, we’re proud to offer more than just a job. We’re a close-knit team that values friendliness, reliability, and a strong connection to our local community. Many of our team members have been with us for years - a testament to our positive and supportive working environment.
As part of our team, you’ll enjoy a generous staff discount across all departments, free on-site parking, and a complimentary uniform. Most importantly, you’ll be welcomed into a workplace where people genuinely enjoy what they do, and where your contribution will be appreciated every day.
