Store Assistant

What you’ll do

Store Assistant in Plymouth Faraday Mill

20 hours per week

We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store.

Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes.

At Toolstation, we're not just looking for what you can bring to us today – we’re focused on helping you grow with us. Many of our managers started as Store Assistants and now run their own stores or oversee operations.

If you’re after a fast‑paced role with an employee‑focused retailer that’s passionate about making customers happy, this could be the perfect fit for you!

This is more than just a store job.

You’ll be the friendly face of Toolstation, helping customers find what they need, but you’ll also be hands‑on with deliveries, warehouse tasks, and stocking shelves. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves! It can get hot in summer and chilly in winter, but if you care about doing a good job and providing great customer service, you’ll fit right in.

No retail experience? No problem! All we ask is that you’re committed to delivering excellent service, and we’ll teach you everything else.

• Handle deliveries, unpack stock, keep the store clean, and prepare orders.
• Provide outstanding service to customers.
• Ask the right questions to help customers with their projects.
• Be proactive: sell the benefits of Toolstation Club and Trade Accounts, signing customers up.

• Show a warm, friendly personality and maintain high store standards.
• Be reliable, flexible, committed, and supportive.
• Bring energy and enthusiasm and let your personality shine.
