SPAR Lane - Retail Assistant Multi

Contract Type: Temporary until end of December 2026

Hours of work: 20 hours per week

As a Multi-Skilled Retail Assistant, you’ll be an essential part of both the shop floor and our food-to-go offering. From serving customers on the till to preparing fresh hot food in the kitchen or supporting the deli counter, you’ll help deliver a great all-round experience in store.

This is a varied and fast-paced role where you’ll support different areas of the business, ensuring shelves are stocked, food is fresh and ready, and every customer leaves satisfied.

You’ll be involved in a mix of retail and food preparation duties, including:

• Delivering excellent customer service across the store, including till operation
• Preparing and cooking hot food products in line with company standards
• Serving customers at hot food or deli counters in a friendly and professional way
• Replenishing stock and maintaining availability across the shop floor
• Keeping displays, counters, and food areas clean, stocked, and visually appealing
• Following food safety, hygiene, and health & safety procedures at all times
• Supporting with deliveries, stock rotation, and reducing waste
• Working as part of the wider store team to keep everything running smoothly

We’re looking for someone who is just as comfortable helping a customer on the shop floor as they are preparing food behind the scenes. You should be:

• Customer-focused with a friendly and approachable manner
• Enthusiastic, reliable, and willing to learn new skills
• Comfortable working across different areas of the store
• Able to work in a busy environment and adapt to changing priorities
• A strong team player with a positive attitude
• Committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food safety
• Previous experience in retail or food preparation is beneficial but not essential
