If you’re great at being on hand to help out, you’ll feel right at home joining us as one of our Trading Assistants. Day-to-day, you’ll support your Sainsbury’s store working where you’re needed the most.
In this role, you’ll be focused on the important task of sorting and replenishing stock, as well as code checking across our produce, fresh foods and dry goods and unloading deliveries.
