KEEN TO KICKSTART YOUR CAREER IN SPORTS RETAIL?THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!

International. Lovers of sports. Team players. All religions. All races. Stronger together through our love of sports.

At Decathlon UK, we are driven by our mission to help more people in the UK get physically active and healthy. We are a part of the DECATHLON Group, one of the world’s leading sporting goods retailers. Headquartered in France, DECATHLON specializes in the creation of sports products and their distribution online and in stores at more than 2080 locations in 61 countries. In the UK, it has over 50 stores nationwide and an e-commerce site that caters to nationwide delivery.

THE MISSION

As a Sales Assistant (or Sports Advisor, as we call it in Decathlon), your role is to ensure all customers leave our stores happy’. From a friendly and professional welcome to a quick and easy payment process, your role is to always deliver a champion shopping experience.

Decathlon invests in the development of teammates so that those who want to build careers within the business are able to flourish within their roles. In a nutshell, your responsibilities will include:

  • Customer Service - Through your passion for sport, you’ll share tips and experiences with users. Through our hands-on product training, you will be able to give the best technical advice for the sports you are responsible for. Decathlon has shifted over the last year into an omnichannel business so it’s essential that our sales assistants are able to assist customers in all aspects of retail shopping, whether that’s in store or online!
  • Merchandising - Whether full time or part time, every Sales Assistant is encouraged to take responsibility to autonomously manage stock levels and pricing and to provide a high level of merchandising so that each customer can easily find the right product for their sports practice.
  • Team Player - You will be part of a shop floor team of like-minded Sales Assistants, practicing sport and celebrating victories together, so it’s important that you are able to work well within a team environment as well as independently.

THE PROFILE

  • Someone who is looking to combine a passion for sport with work
  • A people-person who risks and goes the extra mile to achieve results
  • Someone looking for a retail career with a difference
  • Problem solver with excellent communication skills
  • Able to play as part of the team during the busiest times (weekends and holidays)
  • Invested in the development of yourself and others

BENEFITS

  • Career progression - together with your leader(s), you will have the opportunity and autonomy to build your development path towards your career aspirations!
  • As we don’t believe in zero-hour contracts, you will have a permanent contract with fair pay!
  • Shareholding and profit sharing scheme - as part of a multinational company, you will have the chance to be a shareholder and share the profit we make as a business!
  • Regular sports sessions.
  • Cycle to work scheme - enjoy at least a 25% discount on a bike of your choice so you can travel conveniently while reducing your negative impact on the planet.
  • Regular sports sessions and free access to state-of-the-art sports facilities within the Decathlon UK Distribution Centers!
  • Enjoy a 30% staff discount on Decathlon Products
