Retail Sales Assistant

**Make yourself at home**
It takes a whole lot of passion to be at the centre of what makes a house feel like home — and that’s just what we do at DFS. We’re the leading sofa retail specialist in the UK, helping people find a comfy seat on their great quality sofas since 1969.

We're a market leader in the UK because of one thing: our people. Our people made us who we are and will drive us into our ambitious future, together. We offer incredible opportunities to get stuck into fun and meaningful work as well as learn new skills — so you can really ‘find your thing’.

Are you ready to make yourself at DFS?

**A bit about the role** We are looking to hire two 20 hour contract sales assistants for our wonderful store in Sidcup**

Our Retail Sales Advisors use their passion for both our products and providing a great service to support our customers in a genuine and friendly way.

Working together with your close-knit team, you’ll be the face of your store, taking the time to understand a bit about your customers: their inspirations, individual styles and lifestyles to help them find exactly what they need from us.

So you can give them the best advice, you'll become a DFS expert: knowing everything about our range from how firm or squishy each of our sofas is, to our selection of fabrics and leathers in detail. Your customer-first attitude will help you reach your individual sales targets and contribute to the success of your team too.

As for your lifestyle, we want to help you feel supported and ready to give your best, so we offer a variety of flexible shift patterns to help you find a great balance in your work.
