Trading Assistant - Shift, Night Shift, Immediate Start
Sainsbury'sOverview
Be Sainsbury's's magic ingredient this Christmas and spread some seasonal cheer as one of Sainsbury's's Trading Assistants in Sainsbury's's night shift team. Your responsibilities will include:
- Stocking shelves
- Date checking products
- Helping unload deliveries
In this fast-paced role, you will need to be active, lifting and moving heavy shopping containers, and you must be confident working with new technology. While you will work as part of a close-knit team, you will also have the independence to work alone and use your initiative throughout the night.
As a Trading Assistant, you will take pride in delivering a brilliant shopping experience for Sainsbury's's customers, even if your role involves less customer interaction than your daytime colleagues.
Alongside a market leading salary, Sainsbury's also offer a great range of benefits for all Sainsbury's's colleagues:
- Nightshift premium: an additional £2.45 for every hour worked between midnight - 5am (where applicable)
- Discount card: 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks; 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday
- Free food and hot drinks for colleagues in all Sainsbury's's stores
- Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked
- Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, and retail vouchers
- Family leave: generous maternity and paternity leave
- Pension scheme: Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of your contributions
- Share schemes: opportunity to buy Sainsbury’s shares at discounted prices
- Wellbeing support: access to an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support on a wide range of issues
If the shifts for this role cover hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you must be at least 18 years of age.
