Job Description

Night fill, weekends or month-end rush, a neighbourhood supermarket in Cape Town CBD needs extra hands. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll be based at a neighbourhood supermarket in Cape Town CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

Collect trolleys from the parking lot
Face products so labels point forward and gaps are filled
Visit several stores on a merchandising route and send photos of shelves
Help customers find products and carry heavy items to cars
Put up price tickets and promotion shelf strips
Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

Previous shelf packing or merchandising work
Own transport for route merchandising jobs
Some till or cash-handling experience

What's in it for you

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