This is a key role in helping our store run efficiently and giving our customers the best possible experience. You’ll need strong attention to detail, a hands-on attitude, and a love for supporting your team.

• Replenishing stock on the floor to maintain strong product availability
• Supporting the wider team to create a seamless customer experience
