Job Description:

Senior Store Assistant in Durham 25 hours per week   We are looking for candidates who live locally and can easily commute to our store.
Our stores are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, so you must be able to manage early starts and late finishes. 
This is a position with accountability for supporting colleagues to deliver a great customer experience, so whilst retail is not essential, you will need some experience of either being a key holder or supervising team members.   At Toolstation, we're not just looking for what you can bring to us today – we’re focused on helping you grow with us. Many of our managers started out on the shop floor  and now run their own stores or oversee operations. 
If you're after a fast-paced role with an employee-focused retailer that’s passionate about making customers happy, this could be the perfect fit for you!
This is more than just a store job.

You’ll be the friendly face of Toolstation, helping customers find what they need, but you'll also be hands-on with deliveries, warehouse tasks, and stocking shelves. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves! It can get hot in summer and chilly in winter, but if you care about doing a good job and providing great customer service, you’ll fit right in. Get stuck in: Be ready to handle deliveries, unpack stock, keep the store clean, and prepare orders. Hard work and a positive attitude are more important than experience.
Provide outstanding service: Whether you're chatting with customers or staying efficient during busy times, you'll always offer a great experience.
Ask the right questions: Show genuine interest in customers' projects so you can help them find everything they need to get the job done right. 
Be Proactive: you’ll be expected to sell the benefits of  Toolstation Club and Trade Accounts, signing customers up to experience great deals and competitive prices.
Keyholder responsibility: You’ll be trusted to open and close the store, assign daily tasks to the team and provide short term supervisory cover when needed.
