Why The Works?

10th Best Big Company to Work For 2024 - 'Best Companies'

We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play.

You sell the paint that turns someone into an artist. You provide the book that unleashes an inner author. You supply the games that help bring families together. You give someone the puzzle book that reconnects them with a late family member’s memory.

You never know who someone will become. So with your passion, and our products, you will help ignite the spark within people, allowing them to unleash their creativity, find new passions, hobbies, or rekindle fond memories.

The unseen possibilities are limitless, and it all starts with you.

Become a Seasonal Retail Sales Assistant

As a Seasonal Sales Assistant, you'll join our merry crew and help make this holiday season the best one yet! Supporting our busy peak period leading up to the holiday, you will be the heart of our retail store, welcoming customers with a friendly smile and inspiring them to read, learn, create, or play!

We have lots of deliveries and seasonal stock to manage. The role can be physically demanding and hard work - you'll need to be physically comfortable managing stairs and heavy stock, but our supportive team of crafty, caring, and can-do colleagues will be there to lend a helping hand!

Joining us during this period is a great way to take advantage of our 25% colleague discount to help in the run up to holiday season.

Our Culture

The Works is an awesome place to… well, work! Our atmosphere is supportive, friendly, and inclusive. A second home-from-home where you can be your best and authentic you.

Our environment is always moving and full of energy, yet we still make space to share must-watch TV recommendations, and our favourite page-turners. Because even superheroes need some downtime to fuel their imaginations!

We are one team. You won’t find anyone too proud to roll up their sleeves here, with all hands-on-deck to inspire our customers and support each other.

Your Festive Mission
• Excite and Delight: Spread joy with your friendly service and inspire customers to read, learn, create, or play with our magical products!
• Loyalty Ambassador: Jingle all the way as you help customers to craft a christmas well spent and know they can get more bang for their money at The Works – they’ll thank you with bells on!
• Merchandising Marvel: Unwrap your creative flair by following our planograms for key product areas. And when you have the freedom, let your creativity dance like snowflakes in non-planogrammed spaces to catch the eye!
• Deliveries: Become a puzzle-master as you manage heavy deliveries, price & label products like a pro, sort items onto shop floor displays, and make sure the stockroom is as snug as a Christmas stocking!
• Have fun! Be your best, authentic elf-self and embrace the opportunity to connect with our brand, colleagues, and customers. Have a jolly good time making the store a twinkling wonderland to visit and work!

Skills / Behaviours That Will Set You Apart
• Genuine and authentic: Your positivity, creativity, and passion for our brand and products shine through like twinkling lights on a Christmas tree. Talking to people is your superpower, and customers can’t resist your helpful recommendations!
• Resilient champion: You can handle the fast-paced retail environment like a boss, juggling busy days, heavy deliveries, and customers with ease. You’re the ultimate multitasking hero!
• Stock magician: You tackle the puzzle of sorting, pricing, and merchandising deliveries like Santa’s little helper! Embrace the boxes; they’ve got nothing on you!

Remember, you’re not just an colleague – you’re a festive elf spreading cheer and making the season merry and bright!
