Zara Reading Re-Opening! Full Time And Part Time Sales Assistants

Overview

This is a 3-month temporary contract. There may be the possibility of an extension or a permanent role, depending on business needs, attendance and performance - but it isn\'t guaranteed. This is a hands-on, fast-moving retail role. You\'ll learn in real time: supported by your team and learning by doing. It won\'t be the right role for everyone - and we\'re okay with that. It is a great role for people who enjoy staying busy, take pride in doing things properly, and feel energized in a lively environment.

What you\'ll be doing

  • Providing great customer service, even at busy times
  • Working across the shop floor, stockroom, deliveries and tills
  • Processing high volumes of stock accurately and efficiently
  • Following clear procedures to help keep everyone safe
  • Supporting your team to keep the store running smoothly
  • Being an ambassador for our sustainability commitments

Who tends to thrive here

People who do well in this role usually:

  • Enjoy an active, operational job and like to keep moving
  • Take ownership and follow through on what needs doing
  • Are adaptable and comfortable when things change quickly
  • Stay calm and respectful under pressure, showing resilience and emotional intelligence
  • Like being part of a team and helping build a positive store community
  • See retail as a longer-term opportunity, with the ambition to grow into commercial, visual or people-management roles

Previous retail experience can be helpful, but it\'s not essential. Reliability, attitude and shared values matter most.

Availability & flexibility (please read carefully)

  • As weekends are key trading days, weekend work will be required depending on your scheduled hours
  • Your availability will be agreed before you start, and is expected to remain consistent once in role
  • This role may include early starts, late finishes and busy trading periods
