Branch Sales Advisor - Part Time

About The Role

Are you looking for a part time role in retail working 12 hours each week? If this sounds like the idea role scenario that you are looking for, then we have a great opportunity in our Stoke branch working Thursday 08.00 till 17.00 and every Saturday morning, from 08:00 to 12:00. This isn’t your standard Retail role as you’ll be doing much more than standing behind a checkout!

You’ll be given the opportunity to get involved in a variety of tasks including contacting and visiting customers to promote our products and services, responding to customer queries in-store and over email and ensuring we have a store to be proud of. Don’t worry if you don’t know much about the health and safety industry or personal protective equipment (PPE), as we’ll teach you all there is to know, and provide you with a platform to learn, develop and grow.

This role can lead to future progression within Arco.
