Come and join a great team, enjoy flexible hours and meet different customers every day.  

Flexibility & Hours: 20 hours per week 
This is a Fixed Term Contract, until October 2021. You will work a minimum of 20 hours per week. Your standard hours will be 07:30AM to 13:00PM Mon-Friday and Saturday mornings from 08:00AM to 12:00PM (if applicable) with the option to flex up with the branch opening hours.

How does the role fit into the business?
As a Customer Sales Assistant, you will deal directly with customers who come into the branch or contact us. 

Our success is built on teamwork and great customer relationships. So, we want you to provide a helpful, friendly and efficient service at all times. It’s likely that you will get to know customers on a first name basis - relationship building really is important. 
 
What will you be doing?
  • Handling customer requests and providing product information, 
  • Preparing quotes and dealing with the sales process.
  • Helping customers with every aspect of their purchase.

What experience do you need?
As this is a key customer facing role, you need the ability to provide great customer service, build effective relationships and work as part of a team. 

Previous experience of managing large customer accounts is helpful but not essential. We can teach you all the rest.  

Due to Health & Safety requirements all applicants must be a minimum of 18 years old.
  
Does this sound like you?
