Before you apply, please think about the following things:
You will need to commit to work the entire night shift duration which varies from 2 to 8 weeks depending on the store.
Your final night shift will end on the morning of Tuesday 24th December
Getting to and from the store safely, at any time, is up to you, and you will need to travel outside of work hours
If you have any other paid work or volunteering that could be affected, you may need to reconsider – you will need to make sure you are able to get plenty of rest in between shifts
So, are you:
Reliable and flexible in the hours you can work?
Fast paced and efficient, able to always keep a tidy and safe environment?
Physically fit and able to move stock around the store, both independently and as part of a team?
Trustworthy and responsible to achieve the tasks set, able to apply logic and communicate well if problems arise?
What our colleagues say
"Working as part of the Night Stock team, we work behind the scenes, through the night doing the heavy lifting, to get the toys on the shelves! The customers don't see all the hard work we put in, breaking down pallets of deliveries and preparing stock to be taken out to the shop floor or stored in the stockroom. We're only a small team, and the time goes fast, but we get it all done when we work together... and having music on helps too! We price stock, we might sometimes change window displays and we most importantly, make sure the shelves are full ready for the next day of busy trade. I quite like being able to go home in the morning, and say hi to my family before they go off to work, and then get into bed to catch up on some sleep... ready for the next shift!"
