Shop Assistant Cardiff, Wales
Job description
This is a really great opportunity for a committed Sales Assistant, with a lot of responsibility and room to grow for someone who wants to work in both a retail store but also in our online business (within offices in Cardiff) to provide variety in their day to day role.
Please only apply for this position if you are happy to work both in our retail shop and also our warehouse for our online business (sugarboxuk.com), and live within a close proximity to Cardiff.
Sugar Box is a modern, fun retail store, selling a wide range of popular American and Worldwide candy, drinks, chocolate and snacks.
