Every visit to our store is a chance to make someone’s day - and you’ll be right there to make sure it happens, from the first hello to the final thank you. Our Sales Assistants are the foundation of our stores - a brilliant team at the heart of everything we do. With a focus on creating great experiences, they’re the first to lend a helping hand, always ready to offer support and guidance. Whether it’s finding the perfect item or offering a little inspiration, they make sure every customer leaves with exactly what they came for, and a lasting impression that brings them back time and time again.
As a host, you’ll be the first smile our customers see – and the reason they come back. You’ll be out on the shop floor, approaching customers, understanding what they’re looking for and helping them bring their vision to life. You’ll be confident recommending products, spotting opportunities to upsell, and creating those little moments of joy that make a big difference. You’ll also be tech-savvy, using our systems to check stock and organise home delivery, recommend online exclusives, and sort any queries with ease.
What you'll be doing:
- Tills – Serving customers with purchases or returns and taking care to check that all items are complete and that fragile items are packed securely so they get to their new homes safely.
- Shop floor – Assisting our customers to find the products they are looking for and providing an excellent memorable service to create and maintain customer loyalty and a genuine love for our products and people.
- Hosting – If a customer can’t find what they’re looking for on our shelves, you will use our successful iPad systems to order products to be delivered to the customers' homes. You will be trained to provide a fantastic Made To Measure service creating orders of bespoke curtain and blinds to our customers' specifications.
- Stock and Delivery – A physical role with some heavy lifting involved. This is not solely warehouse based and is a customer facing role. You will be focusing on merchandising, updating price changes, recovering the stores after a busy day making it lovely and tidy, taking in deliveries, checking stock control, ordering and carrying out shop-floor replenishment whilst always remembering our customers’ needs along the way.
What we'll look for in you:
Our colleagues work together to support and encourage each other in order to help create a fantastic work environment that feels like home. We'd love you to be confident and feel empowered in your role whilst having a sociable nature and excited at the prospect of working in an ever-growing retail environment to provide memorable customer experiences. You will love helping your colleagues across the store and always contribute to your team by reporting successfully to your team leaders and store management team regularly.
