Job Description

You'll keep the shelves full and tidy at a township shopping centre store in Welkom, so shoppers find what they came for. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Welkom. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Unpack deliveries in the receiving area and sort by aisle
  • Build promotional displays at the ends of aisles
  • Help customers find products and carry heavy items to cars
  • Face products so labels point forward and gaps are filled
  • Check sell-by dates and pull expired stock for the manager
  • Clean spills fast and put up wet-floor signs
  • Visit several stores on a merchandising route and send photos of shelves

What you need

  • Available for weekends, month-end and public holidays
  • Grade 10 or matric
  • Polite with customers and happy to help
  • Basic reading and maths for price checks

Nice if you have

  • Some till or cash-handling experience
  • Own transport for route merchandising jobs

On offer

  • Chance to move into till or department roles
  • Travel allowance on merchandising routes
  • Paid training in store procedures

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV with the days and times you can work plus matric results or last school report.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Stores fill weekend and night-fill slots first, so write "available weekends and nights" in your CV summary line.
  • Hand your CV in at the store in person, early in the week, and ask for the store or receiving manager by name.
