Job Description

Night fill, weekends or month-end rush, a township shopping centre store in East London needs extra hands. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Face products so labels point forward and gaps are filled
  • Unpack deliveries in the receiving area and sort by aisle
  • Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)
  • Help customers find products and carry heavy items to cars
  • Check sell-by dates and pull expired stock for the manager
  • Build promotional displays at the ends of aisles
  • Collect trolleys from the parking lot

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 or matric
  • Able to stand and lift cases all shift
  • Basic reading and maths for price checks
  • Available for weekends, month-end and public holidays
  • Honest, since stock losses are checked closely
  • Polite with customers and happy to help

Helpful, not essential

  • Some till or cash-handling experience
  • Own transport for route merchandising jobs
  • Being 18 or older for liquor store roles

On offer

  • Chance to move into till or department roles
  • Staff discount on groceries
  • Travel allowance on merchandising routes

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV with the days and times you can work, matric results or last school report plus ID document or smart card, with a certified copy.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Hand your CV in at the store in person, early in the week, and ask for the store or receiving manager by name.
  • If you have ever sold anything, even at a school tuck shop or a family stall, list it. It shows you are comfortable with customers.
