Job Description

:

\'Tis the season to sparkle at Sainsbury\'s and make Christmas shine for our customers. It\'s our busiest and most magical time of the year so we\'re looking for people who love Christmas and food as much as we do! There\'s no better time to join our team and help millions of customers prepare for their celebrations and join in the excitement of the festive season!

Whilst many of our roles will be temporary over the festive period, there may also be permanent opportunities available - please check the contract type and schedule hours before applying to ensure that the role is right for you.

Love food and preparing great quality products for customers? As a Food Services Assistant you\'ll be doing exactly that! One day you might be helping out in the bakery, or if you work in one of our stores with a caf\xc3\xa9 or hot food counter, you could be serving coffees or preparing pizzas. Either way, you\'ll be tuned in to what our customers want and make sure they\'re receiving an experience that will really keep them coming back.

You don\'t need to bring any previous food or retail experience because we\'ll teach you everything you need to know. What matters is that you have a passion for food and delivering exceptional customer service. Whilst not essential, an understanding of technology and sales, will help get customers excited about our products.

We aim to make everyone who joins us be the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work!
