Sales Colleague

This job is with Currys, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community.

Role overview:

Sales Colleague in Coatbridge, Currys, Coatbridge. Permanent, Part Time, 8-15 hours per week, with flexibility to work additional hours. £12.21* per hour plus an average bonus per hour of 89p (*rising to £12.51 on successful completion of probation period).

At Currys we’re united by one passion: to help everyone enjoy amazing technology. As the UK's best-known retailer of tech, we’re proud of the service our customers receive - and it’s all down to our team of caring and committed colleagues. Join us and you’ll work in a great team where you can be yourself and bring your personality. Working as one team, we learn and grow together, celebrating the big and small moments that make every day amazing.

As a Retail Sales Colleague, you don’t need an in-depth knowledge of tech before you join the team as all our new colleagues attend a two to three day induction either virtually or at our fantastic academy in Fort Dunlop, Birmingham. Here, you’ll gain valuable skills and knowledge to help you sell, serve and support our customers and make amazing happen. From supplier training and demos ahead of launches to testing the latest products, we’ll give you the confidence you need to ensure your recommendations are top notch.

Our Sales Colleagues work flexibly across our opening hours which typically includes Saturdays and Sundays. Our stores are open 7 days a week generally between 9am and 8pm but will vary locally.

As part of this role, you’ll be responsible for:

• Asking the right questions to match customers with products.
• Making every customer interaction memorable.
• Offering support services like delivery and installation, recycling and ways to pay.
• Contributing towards the overall sales performance of the store.
• Working across different departments and product ranges.
• Supporting with the running of the store by completing operational tasks.

Our Sales Colleagues all possess the same passion for doing great work. And once you see the pleasure customers get from discovering how amazing technology can help them, you won’t want to do anything else.

You will need to be:

• Approachable and friendly.
• Keen to learn about the latest technology.
• Comfortable achieving personal sales, service and customer experience targets.
• A strong team player, confident working across all parts of the store and winning as a team.

We know our people are the secret to our success. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to reward great work. Alongside 30 days of annual leave (including bank holiday entitlement) and a competitive pension scheme (for permanent colleagues), you’ll find a host of benefits designed to work for you. They include:

• Monthly performance-related bonus.
• Product discounts on the latest tech.
• A range of wellbeing initiatives.

Why join us:

Join our Retail team and we’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you develop the career you want with new opportunities, on-going training and skills for life. And where possible, we’ll offer you the flexibility to help fit your work around your other commitments, all with the support of your manager.

Not only can you shape your own future, but you can take charge of ours too. As the biggest recycler and repairer of tech in the UK, we’re in a position to make a real impact on people and the planet. Every voice has a space at our table and we’re committed to making inclusion and diversity part of everything we do, including how we strengthen our workforce. We want to make sure you have a fair opportunity to show us your talents during our application process, so if you need any additional assistance with your application please email careers@currys.co.uk and we’ll do our best to help.
