Beckton, United Kingdom Card Factory Full time

Job Introduction

At cardfactory we’re all about helping our customers celebrate life’s special moments, whatever they are. We see ourselves as celebration experts and we need someone like you to help us spread more cheer as we get closer to the festive season.

**Location: 3 Armada Way Gallions Reach Shopping Centre Beckton E6 7ER**

**Contracted Hours Available: 8 per location**

**Fixed-Term Contract: Ending 29th December 2024**

Main Responsibilities
Spreading festive cheer is so much fun, but it’s also very busy. From now onwards, we’re a lot like elves busily preparing for the big day, 25th December, and we need more people to join the party. This is where you come in.

As a Seasonal Sales Assistant, day to day you’ll be doing things like:

- Ensuring that the customer is at the heart of everything you do in store. It's the customer promise that all our colleagues work to.
- Making our customers feel welcomed wowed and won over. That’s the way we do things at cardfactory.
- Serving customers at the tills, ensuring they found everything they needed in their visit.
- Recommending our amazing product ranges to our customers. We have a lot more than cards to offer so upselling our great gifts and wrap ranges will be a big part of your day, not forgetting about cardfactory.co.uk and gettingpersonal.co.uk as well.
- Unpacking and restocking our products. We need to ensure our shelves are well stocked, so our customers have our full product range to select from when they visit store.
- Helping with stock take and merchandising our products from time to time.
- Being part of a fantastic team, all passionate about celebrations and spreading more cheer. Tis the season to be jolly after all.

Having experience in retail isn't essential. We’ll show you how to use the tills and find stock.

What we do want is people who are friendly, approachable, and helpful.

It can get pretty busy in store, so you’ll need to be comfortable being on your feet, working at a fast pace and OK changing your priorities during each shift.

We look for people to work across 1000+ stores over the festive season so you might be able to work across a few close-by stores if you are available for more hours. This is optional and we’ll chat to you in your interview more about how this would work.

If you think being a celebration expert sounds a great as we do, if you have good communications skills, enjoy talking to people and are looking for some extra cash for Christmas then a Seasonal Sales Assistant role might just be the perfect fit for you.
