Why join us

Joining us as a Merchandise Admin Assistant in our Furniture teams offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and fast-paced environment. As you provide comprehensive administrative support to our Merchandising team, you will gain valuable skills and knowledge to forge a successful career in merchandising. We value work-life balance and offer flexibility in how, where, and when you work, empowering you to have a fulfilling personal life while contributing to our business goals. With a focus on learning and development, a supportive team, and a range of benefits, joining Sainsbury's means being part of a company that values your growth and provides opportunities for success.

What you'll do

As a Merchandise Admin Assistant in our Furniture teams, you will play a vital role in providing comprehensive administrative support to the Merchandising team. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure accurate and timely completion of tasks that drive overall performance in the business unit. You will assist the replenishment team with store trade queries and liaise with suppliers and the imports and warehousing teams to facilitate a smooth flow of stock from the supplier to depot. Additionally, you will maintain accurate records of commitment to provide stock intake and output forecasts, prepare analysis reports as required by the Merchandiser/Assistant Merchandiser, and update delivery schedules and relevant systems to reflect the latest supplier delivery positions. Your role will also involve raising contracts for new orders, gaining a commercial awareness of our product ranges, stores, and competitors, and collaborating with replenishment teams to plan initial allocations and launch builds to meet stock and availability targets. Attention to detail, strong analytical skills, good communication, and excellent organisational ability will be key to your success in this role.


Who you are

You are a detail-oriented and highly organised individual with strong analytical and numerical skills. With your excellent written and verbal communication abilities, you provide comprehensive administrative support to the Merchandising team, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in all tasks to drive overall performance in the business unit. You have a customer-focused mindset and pay great attention to detail in maintaining accurate records and preparing analysis for the Merchandiser/Assistant Merchandiser. With your strong interpersonal and team-working skills, you collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders, such as suppliers and replenishment teams, to ensure smooth stock flow and achieve stock and availability targets. Proficiency in MS Excel and the ability to learn new systems come naturally to you, enabling you to handle various data-related tasks. Your commitment to continuous learning and your passion for the retail industry make you a valuable asset to our Merchandising Team.

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. From fragrance to car care, clothing and pots and pans, our General Merchandise team delivers all the non-food items for Sainsbury’s, Habitat and Argos customers. This multi-brand environment means you get to work across most areas. You can also be a pioneer, because the team believes in being brave, iterating and learning as they go. They also develop deep connections to other departments, which opens up a lot of different career opportunities for you. What’s certain is that you’ll spend time on the shop floor to get closer to customers, and bring a broad perspective and the full support of your manager with you wherever you decide to develop next.

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new - whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related bonus of up to 5% of salary, depending on how we perform.

Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.

Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave. 

Please see for a range of our benefits (note, length of service and eligibility criteria may apply).

Please note, due to the volume of applications we receive, our roles may close early.
