Sales Assistants - Heathrow Airport

8 to 30 hours per week (variety of positions) - 6-month Fixed Term Contracts

As the UK starts to re-open so do we, and we're looking forward to having customers back in our stores again. To support this, we're looking for a number of Sales Assistants to join our Heathrow stores working a variety of shifts from 8 hours per week up to 30 hours per week working 5 out of 7 days. You'll need to be flexible to be able to support the store across weekends and evenings as well as day time hours.

What you'll do
As a Sales Assistant you'll get our customers' journey off to the best start, no matter where they're flying to. Nothing's too much effort. You'll consistently make sure they have a positive experience. Whether you're the friendly face on one of our tills, answering queries on the shop floor - sharing your product knowledge, or ensuring our displays are always as they should be, stocking shelves so everything's easy to find. No matter what you're doing, you'll pull together with your team mates so that our customers want to keep coming back.

What's in it for you
Join WHSmith and not only can you expect a warm welcome from your team, but this could be the start of a whole new career! Our airport stores are fast-paced, and you never know who you might be serving - from visiting WHSmith Board members to travelling celebrities. We'd love you to grow with us, so you'll have access to lots of training and support! Our aim is to give you the skills you need to help you fulfil your potential. You'll also be rewarded with some fantastic flexible benefits, including a discount in your store and up to 50% in our High Street stores, plus access to a range of discounts with other retailers. As well as flexible working, 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 although retail experience would be preferred. 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, good to talk to 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!

What we do need is people who are able to be flexible to meet the needs of our business, our airport stores never stand still, so we need our employee's to be able to be flexible with us, including working weekends, evenings where appropriate as part of a flexible shift pattern.

If you've recently been affected by the impact of COVID within Heathrow airport then we're especially keen to support you back into employment.

About us
You may know we operate on the high street, in rail and bus stations, airports, hospitals, universities and workplaces. But you may be surprised to learn we've been around since 1792 and have thousands of employees across the globe. We're continually growing by putting our customers at the heart of all we do and we grow our people too. At WHSmith there are No Limits to where your career can go!

Company

WHSmith started in 1792 with a small news vendor in Little Grosvenor Street, London, followed by the opening of our first bookstall in Euston Station in 1848. We quickly established ourselves as the favoured newsagent, stationers and bookseller opening stores across the UK. From this point on, there has been no looking back.
