The Role - Sales Assistant

(In other businesses, this could be known as a 'Sales Assistant', 'Sales Advisor', 'Sales Executive', 'Retail Assistant', 'Team Member')

We are currently looking for a Sales Assistant to join our team. You would play a significant role in helping us to achieve our vision, being a key player in moving our business forward, with your natural ability to engage, inspire and offer advice to our customers to ensure they choose the bed that suits them best!

Your role as a Sales Assistant will involve:

  • Using our unique sleepPRO™ technology to ensure they choose the right mattress for them, giving them a perfect night’s sleep every night.

Working closely with your store colleagues to ensure we offer every customer an outstanding in-store experience, we will give you extensive product training, and ongoing coaching and support throughout your time with us, giving you every opportunity to succeed, progress and build your perfect career!

It should be noted that due to the nature of our products, the role will involve you and your colleagues moving product around in store and some cleaning tasks will be necessary to ensure the store and our products are in the best possible condition for our customers.


Our busiest times tend to be when our customers are free to come in and visit the store, which includes evenings, weekends and bank holiday weekends. You would be expected to cover some of these as part of your working week but, we understand the importance of a good work life balance so would not be expected to work all of them.

Driven to achieve your sales targets. You will enjoy engaging with customers and can adapt your approach as appropriate to build rapport and establish their needs.

Ideally you will have worked in a customer facing role previously and have confident communication skills, being able to spot sales opportunities and be resilient and resourceful when you need to be, daring to try new things to help your store succeed.

Our Benefits!

In return for your contribution to the store’s performance, we offer a base salary of £21,673 p.a. plus uncapped individual commission paid monthly on top of your salary once your minimum sales target is achieved.

On target earnings c£30,000 based on your target, but there is no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that!

  • Monthly store bonus potential when your store achieves its target
    • Employee discount scheme for Bensons products
    • Medicash - cashback options for Health and Wellbeing services (dental, optical, virtual GP, other healthcare services and more)

    • Pension scheme – provided by Legal & General
    • Discounted Gym membership
    • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Annual leave buy & sell scheme – you can top up your holiday entitlement or sell unused days to suit you
    • Enhanced maternity and adoption leave
  • Access to Retail Trust services (guidance and support on retail issues, mental health, wellbeing & financial topics)
  • Learning and development programmes to gain new knowledge and skills
  • Career progression – access to internal opportunities to build your career within Bensons for Beds
    • Long service awards and ‘Love to Shop’ voucher rewards to spend as you like
