Seasonal Retail Sales Assistant

The Works • Sheffield, IA

About The Position

A seasonal role is a fantastic way to get to know The Works. Whilst we can't make any promises, some of our Seasonal Sales Assistants go on to build longer-term careers with us when permanent opportunities arise. We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play. You could recommend the paint set that helps someone discover their inner artist. The book that inspires a future author. The game that brings a family together. Or the puzzle book that reconnects someone with a treasured memory. You never know what future outcomes your customer interaction might spark, or who someone might become. With your passion and our products, you’ll help people discover new interests, explore their creativity, find a new hobby or reconnect with something they once loved. The unseen possibilities are limitless - and it all starts with you.

Requirements

• You love talking to people and feel confident approaching every customer who walks into the store.
• You'll start friendly conversations, understand who they're shopping for, and recommend the right products, gifts and festive favourites.

• You'll represent our brand with pride and help create the magical Christmas experience we're known for.
• You enjoy staying active and getting stuck in.
• You'll be happy turning your hand to whatever the day brings.
• You tackle the puzzle of sorting, pricing, merchandising and managing deliveries.
