What you’ll do
To be a Sales Assistant in one of our station-based stores, you need to keep customers happy by working fast and having a good grasp of current promotions. After all, they have trains to catch, and often no time to stand and chat. At the same time, you need to keep shelves fully stocked – you never know when a train will be delayed and your store will be filled with customers. Keep standards high and the store spick and span, and you’ll go a long way to impressing customers and managers alike. Show you’ve got what it takes and we’ll help you progress.

What’s in it for you
Join WHSmith as a Sales Assistant and you can expect a warm welcome from your team, plus the chance to launch a whole new career! With stores UK-wide there are plenty of opportunities to move around. Plus, we’ll reward you with some fantastic flexible benefits, including up to 50% discount in our High Street stores, and access to a range of discounts with other retailers. As well as flexible working, childcare vouchers, a pension and much more!

Who we’re looking for
Perhaps surprisingly, what you don’t need is bags of retail or customer service experience. We’re looking for people who have a real desire to learn and to make our customers happy! You’ll need to be a great listener, proactive and naturally helpful. The rest will come. And if you want to get on, we’ll positively encourage you. As a Sales Assistant, there’s nothing stopping you becoming a future Store Manager or working in one of our Head Offices!
