As a Retail Sales Assistant, you’ll be the heartbeat of our retail store by greeting customers with a warm smile and helping them leave happy and excited to unlock their imaginations. Your passion and enthusiasm for our brand and products will be contagious and motivating, ensuring customers return time and time again.

If you’re over 18, you’ll join as a keyholder. Retail Sales Assistants support our Store Management team to keep the stores running like clockwork by opening, closing, and running the store when needed—holidays, days off, sickness etc. We’ll train you to do this.

There are a lot of valuable skills to learn here that will benefit you in the future. You’ll also receive our additional keyholding pay enhancement when holding keys.

Under 18? When you reach your 18th birthday, we’ll set you up for training so you can earn the additional keyholding pay enhancement when on keyholder duties.
