Love food, but also have an eye for fashion, interiors, homeware or gaming? This is the role for you! As one of our General Merchandise Assistants, you’ll help to position and sell our fantastic Tu and Habitat brands, and make sure our homeware and entertainment products are organised and displayed to catch our customers’ eyes.

You’ll need a good attention to detail and helping customers find whatever’s on their shopping list, as well as the ability to suggest other products they’ll love. You’ll move products around and into the best position, as trends or seasons change - you could be bringing the garden furniture out when the sun is shining or the winter coats when the weather turns. We’ve got all the tools to help know which products go where in store, so you’ll always know exactly how to make the most of our stock and displays.

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!
