Retail Shop Assistant

This is a really great opportunity for a committed Sales Assistant, with a lot of responsibility and room to grow for someone who wants to work in both a retail store but also in our online business (within offices in Cardiff) to provide variety in their day to day role.

Please only apply for this position if you are happy to work both in our retail shop and also our warehouse for our online business (sugarboxuk.com), and live within a close proximity to Cardiff.

Sugar Box is a modern, fun retail store, selling a wide range of popular American and Worldwide candy, drinks, chocolate and snacks.

We also have a very successful online business, which operates from a small warehouse in Cardiff Bay.

The role will be split between our online operation and our retail store. When working in our retail store, you will work in a team of 10, with a maximum of 5 members of staff on shift at any one time (but usually 1-2 in the week, and more on weekends/holidays). However, you must be happy to work alone for some of your shift (which would only be for 1-3 hours at a time on an opening shift).

You must be willing to work in a fast paced environment and be able to multi-task and resolve problems quickly.

When working in our warehouse, you will usually work with one (or two during busy periods) other members of the online team, or alone, depending on the day, managing our online orders (picking, packing and sending).

We are only looking for members of staff who have the personality to work in retail and win sales.

If you have previous experience working as sales assistant, retail assistant or sales executive this could be a perfect opportunity for you!

You will have a very engaging and warm personality and your customer service skills will be second to none.
