Job Description:

Retail Sales Assistant

Colchester | Full Time | Immediate Start | £570–£750 per week ote

Love the buzz of a busy shop floor but tired of standing behind the same counter every day? This Retail Sales Assistant role takes your retail skills on the road, to events across Colchester and the surrounding area, where every day brings new faces and new places.

About our client
Our client runs face-to-face sales at event locations across Colchester and the surrounding area. 

Why this role stands out

• No more same four walls: you’ll work at different event locations, not a single shop
• A fun, sociable team where everyone supports each other
• Excellent opportunities to develop and progress
• Immediate start for the right people

The role
As a Retail Sales Assistant, you’ll use the customer service and sales skills you’d use on any shop floor, but at events rather than in a store. If you enjoy talking to customers and getting that buzz from making a sale, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do

• Welcome customers and start friendly conversations at events and event locations
• Use your retail sales skills to explain products and help customers choose
• Build rapport quickly and deliver excellent customer service
• Turn interest into sales and work towards daily sales goals as a team
• Travel with the team to events across Colchester and nearby areas
• Grow your sales, communication and customer service experience every day

What success looks like

• First few weeks: trained, out at events and making your first sales
• First few months: a confident Retail Sales Assistant hitting your stride
• Beyond that: ready for more responsibility as you progress

What our client is looking for

• You live in Colchester or within a commutable distance
• You’re available full time with an immediate start
• You enjoy working with people and have a positive, can-do attitude
• You have the right to work in the UK (visa sponsorship is not available)
• Retail experience is great but not essential. If you’ve worked as a retail assistant, sales assistant, cashier, in hospitality, a call centre or any customer-facing role, you already have the skills to be a brilliant Retail Sales Assistant.

What you’ll get

• £570–£750 per week OTE
• Full-time hours with an immediate start
• Full training
• A fun team and a role where no two days are the same
• Excellent opportunities for progression
