What the role involves With full training and support from day one, this role plays a key part in helping customers during important moments in their lives. It is a varied, people-focused position — not a warehousing role — combining customer service with day-to-day store operations. Key responsibilities: • Deliver friendly, professional service in person, by phone and via email. • Understand customer needs and recommend suitable storage solutions. • Work collaboratively to maintain a positive team environment. • Support daily store operations, including cleaning, restocking and presentation standards. • Follow health, safety and security procedures. • Manage customer accounts accurately using established systems. Some light physical tasks are involved, with full training and equipment provided. About The Organisation Here at Big Yellow, people are at the heart of our business. When customers visit one of our stores, their journey begins with you. That’s why it’s essential you showcase your personality including integrity, empathy and a genuine passion to help others. We are a small but close-knit company, where each individual person matters. Despite our rapid growth over the past 25 years, we’ve maintained a strong family feel, and our success has come from great people, delivering an outstanding customer experience. We take a can-do attitude, combined with always doing the right thing – whatever the challenge. We take great pride in the culture we’ve created—a fun, supportive, and positive place to work. Our store teams are small, allowing colleagues to work closely together, build trust, and form strong relationships. The role itself is highly varied, making it ideal for those who enjoy a job where no two days are the same. But it’s not just about work—we also encourage our teams to socialise, connect, and celebrate their successes together. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with everything in the job description, we would encourage you to apply. It’s not just your skills we are looking for, it’s your personality. If you have a warm and friendly manner, great listening skills, a genuine desire to help others, a positive attitude and are not afraid of a challenge, please get in touch. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, responsibilities for dependents, age, physical / mental disability or offending background.
